The Spartan became mascot of the Michigan State University Football team in, I believe, not long after 1925. There is no indication this sewer pipe spartan figure was made in Michigan, but the Grand Ledge Pottery mentioned elsewhere on this blog was located a dozen miles from East Lansing, home of the spartans. Signed on the base "EJE" by the maker, and 4.5 inches tall.
