Lot # 1414: 1940s Stanford Pottery Brooklyn Dodgers Bum #7 Mascot Bank Statue

Behold a thing of beauty, sort of, when you gaze upon this 1940s Stanford Pottery Brooklyn Dodgers Bum mascot bank. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and for Dodgers fans and figure specialists, this fine fellow is going to look gorgeous. The captivating design is full of fun details, such as the cap cocked to the side, crooked nose, gold tooth, Bums jersey lettering, stitched pants, number 7 on the back, and of course, the requisite cigar in the corner of the mouth. Crazing is noted on the uniform and base, reinforcing the vintage nature of this outstanding piece, as opposed to detracting from the abundant display appeal, which it does not. The colors are bold, the surface is clean, and condition warrants a Nm rating.
