Are you as impressed with Palmer Murphy's fine craftsmanship as we are? Beyond the stellar Ruth/Gehrig likenesses, this 1927 tribute showcases a substantial base with engraved facsimile signatures, stat plaques, LE#196/1927, and the artist's copyright mark. To our knowledge, far fewer examples were ultimately cast or have ever surfaced, in part because the mold broke during production. Murphy's work is well represented in elite private collections as well as at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. This fine favorite measures nearly 10" tall. NM condition.
