Originally known for making Plastic
western toys; such as model horses, and
famous cowboys, from 1958-1963 Hartland
Plastics produced 18 statues of star
Major League baseball players. The
sports series of famous baseball stars
included: Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, Ted
Williams, Ed Mathews, Hank Aaron,
Willie Mays, Warren Spahn, Harmon
Killebrew, Stan Musial, Ernie Banks,
Don Drysdale, Duke Snider, Luis
Aparicio, Nellie Fox, Rocky Colavito,
Dick Groat, Roger Maris, and
Mickey Mantle.
The statues were made available at souvenir stands at the ball park, and
sold in retail store such as Woolworths
for $1.98. In 1963 Hartland was
purchased by Revlon, and stopped making
the figures to make cosmetic perfume
cases and containers. The Mickey Mantle
Hartland lamps were made by an
enterprising company that utilized
Hartland Plastics overstock of the
Mickey Mantle statues. It is not known
who produced the limited number of
lamps, but the bottom of the base has a
"Yugoslavia" stamping.
The lamp design features a gold-painted plastic figure of Mickey Mantle mounted upon a
rectangular wood base, with the lamp
pole positioned behind the figure. A
plaque on the front of the base reads
"PLAY BALL." Applied to the front side of the oval
shade displays a crossed bats and ball
motif in brown and white
felt. There are also a small number of
lamps made with a round base and shade,
without the Crossed bats & Ball.
