VINTAGE NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS "WOOD CARVED" MASCOT STATUE

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/6/2010

We haven't seen one of these magnificent statues in many years. It's part of a series of college football mascots made by an unknown company circa 50's (we do have a Blog entry about this series- click Blog tab at top of screen). This Nebraska Cornhusker measures a little more than 12" tall. It was carved out of a single block of wood and painted beautifully to reflect the team colors. These statues are even more defined than the Carter-Hoffman series. The statues in this series are all considered rare and this one is an absolute beauty.
