In 1951 Baston had stopped distributing Sebastians through Carbone and Schmid. Now Selling through the Hunt local sales force, (1951 - 1852). Baston designed a plaque advertising Sebastians and sold them to his dealers for display at their stores. From 1976 to 1978, Sebstians were produced in Hudson, Massachusetts, and the plaque wording was so changed. This piece does not have the original box, but a nice gift box will be included. Sebastian Miniatures are a series of small castable ceramic (chalkware) sculptures or figurines first produced by Prescott W Baston Sr. in 1938 until his death in 1984.
