Seller's Description
Abraham Lincoln - 1947 -Sebastian Miniature - Marblehead Label SML #85 - RARE
Baston designed Abraham Lincoln in 1947. In 1958, after he had designed his Lincoln Memorial piece, he replaced the head looking straight ahead with the new dsign looking down. This particular figure was the original design made from 1947 to 1957 with the Lincoln looking straight ahead.
Another feature of this particular figure is the imprint on the base which says, Corp 1947 P.W. Baston. This imprint was done with a stamp in the base while the liquid material was hardening. The stamp had to be applied when the cermastone was hard enough to "remember" the imprint, and still wet enough to accept it. This method was obviously impossible with higher production runs, and in later years, Baston changed his imprint to "Sebastion miniatures P.W. Baston, USA". This piece has the imprint done in the early years.
Baston attached a silver-green label to the base of his Marblehead-produced (1946 - 1975) pieces. If that label on an old piece is still affixed, that means it is a "Marbelhead Piece" or rare. This piece has the Marblehead label.
This piece is approx. 76 years old. There are no chips or cracks, but the paint has worn on his pant leg, shoes, coat sleeve and hiar.
Measures 3 1/2 " tall. Base is 2" wide. Does not have the original box, but a nice gift box will be included.
