Friendly Rivals – Anthropomorphic Sport Balls

Five different sports are represented in this series.  Each sport ball set has legs and arms which are depicted playing the sport in question.  These sets are from the 1990s and were imported by Lotus from China.  The sets vary in height with the tennis balls standing only 3.25'' in height and the basketballs appropriately standing 4.5'' in height.  The sets have a 2 and 1 pour holes pattern with plastic stoppers.

This series is referenced on page 235 of Karen Weaver and Sylvia Tompkins' book about anthropomorphic salt and pepper shakers called "Shakers Gone Wild".
