A Vintage Jackie Robinson Bust

This is fantastic. And to a Jackie Robinson collector it is unusual.

Featured above and below is a Jackie Robinson bust currently for sale at Inside the Park Collectibles (Auction Link). Likely from the 1940's, it exactly resembles a well known memorabilia piece commonly known to Robinson collectors as the Petitto Studios Jackie Robinson candy container. You can see a pic of that on the right.

Spitting image, eh?

The bust stands about 5 1/2" tall (roughly twice the size of the candy container without the clear plastic) and also includes a Petitto Studios makers mark on the reverse.
