Although many sources, including Edwin Murtha's Paul Manship (New York: The Macmillan Company, 1957), suggest that Manship created an original run of twelve casts of this work, the Collection of the Maryland State Archives holds a version of the Spear Thrower editioned No. 13 to the base. This cast was acquired by the museum in 1923, either directly from Manship or a gallery, indicating that more than twelve sculptures were initially cast.
