CIRCA 1939 "RITTGERS TRIO SET?" - "RARE GORGEOUS SET L@@K!

Description: OFFERED HERE IS A ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE UNIQUE CIRCA 1939 "RITTGERS TRIO SET " TRIO BATTER AND CATCHER AND UMPIRE BASEBALL SET OF THE 1939 RITTGERS SET". THE 1939 SET WAS THE FIRST TO COME OUT AND ONE OF THE RAREST TO FIND IN MY OPINION. LAYFAYETTE RITTGERS WAS IN BUSINESS FROM 1939 TO 1956 IN CHICAGO. WHEN HE LOST HIS LEASE ON THE BUILDING HE DECIDED TO CLOSE THE BUSINESS IN 1956. THE BATTER AND PITCHER ARE IN UNUSUAL "WHITE & GREY" UNIFORMS WITH NO "A" OR "N" ON THEIR UNIFORM WHICH WAS THE WAY THEY MADE THE 1939 SET. THE UNIFORMS WENT TO GREY AND WHITE LATER WITH "A" FOR AMERICAN LEAGUE AND "N" FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE. PLEASE SEE RITTGER BOOK PAGES FOR IDENTIFICATION INFO AT END OF PICTURES. NONE OF THESE ANTIQUE BASEBALL STATUES HAS A RITTGERS MARK OR LOGO. MANY OF THE EARLY 1939 SETS DID NOT HAVE THE RITTGERS LOGO OR DATE SO I AM ASSUMING THIS IS THE CASE BASED ON THE RITTGERS HISTORY BOOK. NO WAY OF REALLY KNOWING FOR SURE ON TTHIS SET THE EXACT AGE OTHER THAN GUESSING. THESE APPEAR TO BE SPRAY PAINTED AND NOT HAND PAINTED WHICH WAS A MARK OF THE EARLIER SET. I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION STATED HERE ABOUT THE RITTGERS COMPANY CAME FROM THE BOOK "COLLECTING RITTGERS" WRITTEN BY CHARLIE BULKO. SOME HISTORY AND PICTURES WERE TAKEN FROM HIS BOOK. MR. BULKO IS TRULY THE EXPERT ON ALL THINGS RITTGERS AND DID A FANTASTIC JOB ALLOWING OTHER RITTGER COLLECTORS UNDERSTAND THE COMPANY HISTORY. THE BOOKS IS FANTASTIC! SEE PICTURE OF BOOK AT END OF PICTURES. THE PLAYERS MEASURE BATTER- 7.5 AND PITCHER -7.25 AND UMPIRE -6.75 INCHES TALL. ALL ARE MADE OF CHALKWARE. THE ONLY REPAIR OR FLAW I AM AWARE OF IS THE BACK OF THE UMPIRE SHOW IS FLAT EITHER CUT OFF OR REPAIRED? SEE PICTURE OF THIS. THEY ARE IN VERY NICE DISPLAY CONDITION. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE CHALKWARE VINTAGE BASEBALL STATUES AND ARE APPROX. 80 PLUS YEARS OLD. THEY MAY HAVE IMPERFECTIONS OR PAINT LOSS OR PAINT TOUCH UP OR EVEN POSSIBLE A HAIRLINE CRACK I JUST MISSED. IT IS VERY HARD TO TELL ON THESE AT TIMES. THIS IS THE 1939 SET. NO RETURNS UNLESS I MADE A MISTAKE IN THE DESCRIPTION. I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE IN THE DESCRIPTIONS. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD IN "AS IS" CONDITION. PLEASE BASE CONDITION ON THESE PICTURES OR QUESTIONS TO ME. THANKS! I have been on Ebay since 1998 and have a 100% feedback.
