Holy cow. Weighing in at just under ten pounds nearly 20" across by 17" in height easily the creepiest ugliest piece of baseball memorabilia we have ever seen. Promoting Blatz beer the figural piece personifies a beer can into a sliding ballplayer a beer bottle into a fielder and a beer keg into an umpire. The twisted elongated disproportionate body parts; the odd vacant expressions on the players; the strange ceramic muck in which the three subjects are planted all conspire together to create the single ugliest thing that has ever come into our office. We're told that similar advertising pieces were developed for other brands of beer so it is not just the Blatz brand that had the unbelievable marketing skill to slap their logo onto this thing. If you are the winning bidder and invite this thing into your house we cannot guarantee that it will not haunt your dreams. Condition is GOOD as there is considerable chipping on the ceramic faces of the players and umpire perhaps from when they come to life late at night and fight with each other. Display value despite the chipping for what it is we suppose is strong.
