The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled two new limited-edition bobbleheads featuring a Baltimore icon: Mr. Boh.

The one-eyed, handlebar-mustachioed mascot of National Bohemian beer, or Natty Boh, is showing his team pride for the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles.

The football and baseball-themed bobbleheads feature Mr. Boh holding a can of Natty Boh beer and smiling off into the distance while sporting either a purple-and-black Ravens helmet or an orange-black-and-white Orioles cap.

“We’re excited to unveil special edition Mr. Boh football and baseball bobbleheads to celebrate the start of the football season and the stretch run of the baseball season,” said Phil Skar, co-founder and CEO of the Milwaukee-based National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “With the help of the iconic Mr. Boh, ‘Natty Boh’ has embodied the spirit of Baltimore and is deeply connected to Baltimore sports culture. ‘Natty Boh’ and Mr. Boh have long been a staple of local tailgates and game-day traditions.”

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,026. They are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store, where they are selling for $30 each or $55 for the set of two plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. Bobbleheads are expected to ship in February. The store also features bobbleheads of Mr. Boh without sports gear, holding bottles or cans of Natty Boh beer.

The limited-edition bobbleheads were released Thursday ahead of the Ravens kicking off the 2026 NFL season this Sunday in a game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Meanwhile, the Orioles are in the final month of the regular season and are currently four games back from the final Wild Card spot.

The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum previously released two National Bohemian bobbleheads featuring Mr. Boh alongside bobbleheads of four other Pabst brands: Pabst Blue Ribbon, Blatz, Lone Star, and Schlitz.

Other Maryland-themed bobbleheads have included tributes to the University of Maryland Terrapins; Morgan State University Bears; and University of Maryland, Baltimore County Retrievers.

National Bohemian beer first began brewing in 1885 in Baltimore, Maryland. The beer’s original brewer, National Brewing Company, was acquired by Baltimore’s Hoffberger family in 1931. One of the company’s former presidents, Jerold Hoffberger, also owned the Baltimore Orioles for a time and Natty Boh beer became a staple at Memorial Stadium and throughout Baltimore. The Mr. Boh mascot entered the picture in 1936 and he has been a beloved Baltimorean ever since.

Pabst Brewing Company purchased the National Bohemian beer brand in 1999. The beer is no longer made in Baltimore, instead being brewed under contract at the Molson Coors brewing facilities in Albany, Georgia, and Trenton, Ohio. However, Baltimore still accounts for nearly 90% of National Bohemian sales.
