Grouping of six items related to Cuban baseball circa 1940s-1950s. Collection includes the following: 1) 1943 Marianao Folk Art Piece: v14" x 10 3/4" paper piece with handmade watercolor drawing of a Marianao pitcher the words "Marianao Campeon 1943" stylized above the image. Signed F Vega 1942 in the lower-right. The paper is in fair condition at best some considerable wear to the edges and corners foxing and tears repaired with clear tape on the reverse. Still an interesting piece. 2) Habana Leones "ID Wallet" identifying Heilda Menendez as a fan (her picture has been attached). The wallet has been signed twice by Leones manager Miguel Gonzalez as well as infielder Carlos Pascual and one other pleyer we cannot identify. 3) 1950s Habana Leones Figurine: 5" x 5 1/2" hand-painted figural piece depicting the Leones mascot atop a ceramic baseball. Excellent condition. 4) 1950s Habana Leones Figurine: 3 1/2" x 3" ceramic piece similar in style but smaller with a large "H" near the lion. 5) 1950s Marianao Figurine: 3 1/2" x 3" ceramic Tiger figurine. 6) 1950-51 Habana Leones Championship Silk Banner: Approximately 9 1/2" x 14" banner attached to a wooden dowel original hanging string attached. Some wear is evident including cracking of the white ink throughout. Still an excellent piece. Six items total.
