Top off your vintage memorabilia collection, with this c.1950 Jackie Robinson cane topper. A game changer for the ages, Robinson was widely celebrated with souvenirs during his historic career, and he remains one of the most beloved figures in baseball history. Issued during the peak of Robinson's playing days with the Brooklyn Dodgers, this 3-1/4" hard plastic figural finial is big on display appeal, with the iconic Brooklyn cap, a riveting facial expression, and crossed bats and ball on the front of the collar making up the design. One of the two crossed bats below the face is impressed with "Jackie", and the name is repeated on the back of the collar in raised letters. Moderate flecks of surface paint loss have transpired mostly on the cap, though there are smaller bits of surface wear above both ears, while the face retains great integrity.

Opening Bid $100.
