Description: OFFERED HERE IS A ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE UNIQUE CIRCA 1941'S "RITTGERS TRIO SET " TRIO BATTER AND CATCHER AND UMPIRE BASEBALL SET OF THE 1941 RITTGERS SET". THE 1941 SET WAS THE MOST POPULAR AND HAD THE HIGHEST SALES IN TERMS OF FIGURES SOLD IN THE BASEBALL COLLECTION TO MY KNOWLEDGE? 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. ALL THREE HAVE THE RITTGERS COMPANY MARKINGS ON THEIR LEGS AND ALSO HAVE THE DATE "1941" AS WELL AND THE TRADE MARK LOGO. LAYFAYETTE RITTGERS WAS ALL ABOUT HAVING HIS WORKS TRADE MARKED. I WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HISTORIC COMPANY 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. NO CRACKS-CHIPS OR REPAIRS I AM AWARE OF. THEY GRADE GORGEOUS DISPLAY CONDITION. THE BATTER AND PITCHER BOTH HAVE "DOUBLE LABELS ON FEET" THIS WAS USED BETWEEN 1941 AND 1946. PLEASE SEE RITTGERS BOOK PAGES IN LAST PICTURES FOR MORE INFO. 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 TOUCH UP. VERY HARD TO TELL ON THESE AT TIMES. 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.
