Acquired at an estate sale 2025 April 05.
I had a strong feeling about not looking at everything,
so I went around again and learned I was right.
A display case that I had almost ignored held this really nice find.
Made in Japan (baseball's second home!) for Lefton's
--- whoever that might be.
Great find!
"Lefton was among the first American businessmen to work with the Japanese after World War II. The first pieces of Lefton China, marked "Made in Occupied Japan," arrived in the United States in 1946."
