Founded in 1941 and based out of Wisconsin, Hartland Plastics produced an especially popular set of baseball figurines using mold-injected acetate plastic resin, with each figure then hand painted utilizing an acetate-based paint. Beginning in 1958 with the release of three homestate players (Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, and Eddie Mathews), fifteen more were added to the line-up in 1960. At approx 8” tall with each accompanied by a bat (three different styles were produced, and we are unsure what bat belongs with each figurine), this collection includes 15, with examples present for Hank Aaron (2), Luis Aparicio, Yogi Berra (2, both with the catcher’s masks), Nellie Fox, Eddie Mathews, Harmon Killebrew, Ernie Banks, Dick Groat, Duke Snider, Roger Maris (both arms are broken off and present), Ted Williams (left arm broken off but present), Rocky Colavito and Stan Musial. There is also a Lou Gehrig Hartland figure from 1990. The majority exhibit moderate to heavier handling wear, with toning to the uniforms and some wear to the paint.
