OFFERED HERE IS A CIRCA 1941 RITTGERS PROTO TYPE BASEBALL SET. THIS IS A VERY RARE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE BASEBALL SET IS NOT MADE OF PLASTER LIKE THE OTHERS BUT OF CAST IRON OR STEEL. AS MENTIONED IN THE "RITTGERS" BOOK AND PICTURED ON PAGE PICTURED HEREIN THESE WERE PROTO TYPES NEVER MADE OR RELEASED.EACH BATTER OR PITCHER WEIGHS ABOUT 2 POUNDS! THE UMPIRE BEING SMALLER WEIGHS ABOUT 1.25 POUNDS
.
EACH HAS LAFAYETTE RITTGERS STAMPING AND THE DATE 1941. ALL STAMPINGS ARE VERY GOOD BUT THE BATTER IS A BIT HARD TO SEE BUT THERE FOR SURE.
THE UMPIRE AS YOU CAN SEE IS WEARING A OPEN JACKET WITH A VEST THAT IS BUTTONED UP ALL THE WAY.
NO OTHER UMPIRE OR SET HAS THIS. NONE FOUND TO MY KNOWLEDGE OTHER THAN MENTIONED IN THIS BOOK. ALL ARE SAME SIZE AS NORMAL RITTGERS RANGING FROM 6.75 TO 7.5 OR SO. AS MENTIONED IN THE BOOK THIS PROTO TYPE SET WAS MADE AND THEN NOT PRODUCED FOR SOME REASON UNKNOWN?
AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS ONLY COMPLETE SET OTHER THAN THE UMPIRE ONE IN THE BOOK. THERE MAY BE OTHERS OUT THERE BUT I DOUBT THEY ARE A TRUE FACTORY OR PROTO TYPE SET MADE OF CAST IRON OR STEEL. I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN ANY WAY ON RITTGERS ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALL THE BASEBALL SETS SO PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND ALWAYS GLAD TO HEAR SOMEONES INPUT ON THEM.
