A classic piece of vintage baseball memorabilia — the Pittsburgh Pirates Gold Base Bobblehead features the iconic pirate mascot in a white "PIRATES" jersey with black sleeves, hands on hips, wearing a black tricorn hat with gold skull-and-crossbones and a black eye patch. The round gold base is embossed with "PITTSBURGH" in bold lettering.
The bottom of the base bears the original Sports Specialties distributor label (1020 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA) and is marked Japan, confirming this is an authentic vintage Japanese-made nodder from the early 1960s. The spring-neck mechanism is intact and visible in the interior detail photos.
