ca1905 TIN LITHOGRAPH BASEBALL GAME IN PROGRESS ADVERTISING TRAY / PLATE

Description

Very rare and original, ca1905 Tin Lithographed, Vienna Art Plate-type Premium Tray featuring a wonderful image of a Baseball Game in progress.
This fantastic and exceptionally rare, chromolithograph on tin Art Plate / Sporting Subject Advertising Premium Tray measures approx. 10" in diameter and pictures a baseball game in progress. The baseball “action” scene pictures a catcher applying a tag to a base runner sliding into home plate. There are spectators seated in the stands in the background and in the foreground is the catcher’s mask discarded by the catcher.
There is no Advertising text on the Tray and the Tray does not carry the mark of the manufacturer. Over the past 41+ years we have owned 2 examples of a very similar Tin Lithograph Tray depicting a Polo Game but have never encountered this Baseball subject Tray. We believe that there was a series of Tin Litho Trays with American Sporting Subjects but our research has been unable to identify the manufacturer.
This rare and very attractive, Vienna Art Plate-type Baseball Subject Tin Lithograph Premium Tray / Plaque is in very good to excellent, original condition. The colors are bright and vibrant - rich and warm with no significant surface scratches, surface loss or damage of any kind even to the edges of the rolled rim. Overall the Tray is very well preserved and displays beautifully.
A very rare and original, ca1905 Tin Lithographed, Vienna Art Plate-type Baseball Subject Premium / Advertising Tray and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
