Baseball Player Hand-Carved and Signed Wooden Plaque hand-painted letters It is in excellent conditionSuch a charming carving! I assume this young baseball player in pin striped uniform and cap is none other than Arthur Robert himself, who signed the piece in the upper left corner. He certainly looks happy and eager holding his bat, and how can you beat those striped socks??!! I love to think that making this carving is the first thing young Arthur started in the year 1940; it is dated 1 1 40 at bottom right. A fabulous gift for the young and emerging
