Tinplate Football or Ice Hockey Sports Figures

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Tinker & Toad
Description

A delightful and highly decorative set of six coloured tinplate sports figures. As they have a kicking action we think they are possibly English or American footballers. If anyone knows we would love to hear from you! They would make a great display item if fixed to wood or paced in a display case or cabinet. Would suit a study, sports bar, man cave to name a few! A rare, interesting and collectable item just awaiting a new home! Circa 1910.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Lithographed tinplate sports figures were manufactured in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as figures for tabletop sports games, standalone toys, or novelty items.

These items were crafted from thin sheets of iron coated with tin to prevent corrosion, then decorated using offset lithographic printing before being stamped, cut, and assembled.

Authentic pieces exhibit age-appropriate paint wear, folded metal tab construction, sharp die-cut edges, and natural patination or surface oxidisation.

Small tinplate figures can be displayed in a shadow box frame, arranged on a bookshelf, or styled alongside sports memorabilia on an office desk.

Store tinplate in a dry environment to avoid moisture damage, dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid liquids or harsh polishing compounds.
