Never before seen complete set of ten (all positons players, one batter) is entirely accounted for and in overall Excellent condition. Originally created as promotional display pieces for use by Morris' Union Suit carriers, all of the figures are dressed in Union suits. Rare is it to find this original set, hand made in white plaster, let alone one in such outstanding condition, having survived together for almost a century. Complete with the handwritten letter and display instructions that accompanied them in delivery to the actual stores they were sent to the store stating, "This display is furnished to dealers handling Morris' Union Suits." Letter and page are framed (17x23")and in Fair condition. Amazing!
