VINTAGE WOOD CARVED COLLEGE MASCOTS

Todays topic has been a mystery to collectors for along time. These statues are made of wood and finely detailed & hand painted. There is no known manufacturer of these large sized(about 14" tall) mascots. It is generally assumed that they were made in the late 40's/ early 50's- about the same time that the Carter-Hoffman Company was producing their line of wooded mascots. They are rarely seen offered for sale. They are some of the best looking figurines in the hobby.

If any of our readers has more information about them, please contact us.
