Pair of Pair of sports related pieces that are not specifically stamped, but are known to originate from German porcelain maker Schafer & Vater.  The small baseball piece features a comical player reaching to catch a ball, with an attached compartment believed to be a toothpick or match holder, less than 2" in height.  The football piece features a child holding a melon-shaped football.  Exceedingly rare to find either of these fragile items in any condition, the baseball piece extremely fragile and constructed of very thin material.  Both pieces exhibit moderate surface wear, but no chips or cracks.
