It is known mainly as the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team of the National League, from 1913 to 1957, but was also home to three National Football League teams in the 1920s. Ebbets Field was demolished in 1960 and replaced by apartment buildings. Ebbets Field was one of several historic major league ballparks demolished in the 1960s, but more mythology and nostalgia surrounds the stadium and its demise than possibly any other defunct ballpark. The wood used to make this pen is shown in the pictures, and is now over 100 years old. Interestingly the wood has been painted over, in blue, many times of over those years and some has become trapped deep down in the surface cracks (see images). Some of this paint has survived the wood turning process used to make this pen (see pictures), and several thin lines of original weathered paint can be seen running the length of the pen. These are now sealed in with a tough lacquer coating. This makes this pen even more unique ,and special, as an artefact from this special baseball park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood is obtained from a reputable dealer in the USA and a certificate of authenticity, provided by the supplier, will be included with the pen (see pictures).
