Lot # 1337: 1910s-1940s Rarely Seen Iron Figural Seat End from League Park in Cleveland

A work of art in cast iron is spotlighted with the presentation of this 1910s-1940s figural seat end from League Park in Cleveland. This bygone stadium was the home of the Cleveland Indians, along with several Negro League teams, NFL teams, and other professional and collegiate squads. Measuring 7" by 20" at its widest points, this rarely seen delight is graced with an outstanding appearance. The intricate design incorporates a fielder's glove at top, with a baseball in the pocket and a bat on the left poking up into the thumb area. The back is impressed with the identifier "3 L," with the L for left side, and the 3 likely indicating the part number, which would have been assembled with an arm rest and side rails. Factory punched holes are noted at top and bottom for mounting, and the intertwined leaf scroll is an elegant touch. Truly a magnificent piece of ancient stadium design in excellent condition, this architectural treasure is a worthy target destined for prominent display. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
