Offered is 1 of the 5 Vintage Spalding Figural Baseball Trophies, a 1931 “The Fielder” style trophy. Crafted by Dieges & Clust from white metal, this 16” tall figure is set atop an oblong base, which in turn sits atop a black wooden bottom. The statue depicts a fielder reaching up to catch a baseball. The base of the statue features a baseball with criss-crossing bats behind it, flanked on both side by the words “SPALDING” and “TROPHY.” Engraving on the baseball reads “Won By ‘Schroths’ Elkins Oliphant” Post 93 1931”Bachmann Emmerich & Co. Inc. Champions 1928.” The black wooden base displays some minor scratching, and a “Made By Dieges & Clust” plate is mounted on the backside. These Spalding Figural Trophies from the 20’s and 30’s are highly coveted, and this is a shining example from the series.
