Great Gift! Matted and ready to pop into a standard frame: 1880s Patent document [Matted For Framing] for a (black americana) Toy Bank featuring pitcher, catcher and batter. This was sold as a black derogatory stereotypical theme and is named Darktown Battery. This famous bank was manufactured by J & E (J&E) Stevens in cast iron. This patent art does not have the BEST illustration we've ever seen but that is the way it sometimes went in those days.

Your piece will also include the original date and patent number.

This wonderful reproduction of the original patent graphic is crisply printed on luxurious Ivory Parchment Paper. It includes a white acid-free matte and is ready for insertion into a standard 8" x 10" frame for hanging. Graphic area shown is 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". Also, included are the remaining pages of the Patent Document printed on 20# white bond paper to complete the Patent information for the collector.

Image included here is low-quality for quick loading on the net with SAMPLE written across, which will not be on your print. Yours will also include the date and patent number.

Makes a terrific gift for the collector or an addition to your collection!
