This
is a prototype used to produce the mold
for the 1961-1963
Mickey Mantle White Base bobbing head
doll. After the two piece mold is put
together it is filled with a paper
mâché slurry or "slip." The
manufacturer then lets the mold sit for
a predetermined amount of time and
then empties the mold. This time is
needed to allow the paper mâché slip to
get attached to the walls of the mold,
as the plaster draws the water out of
the paper mâché slurry. Then the part
is allowed to dry out. Afterwards it is sanded and cleaned before
painting.
The
1961-1963 White Base series of
baseball bobbing head dolls were the
first comprehensive series of major
league baseball bobbing heads. They
originally sold for $1.00 each! It
included examples from 20 different
franchises with several significant
variations. The
series included nine dolls featuring
mascot heads. Also lumped into this
series were four dolls of actual
players. Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris,
Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente.
