AL GORE

Democratic Nominee for President in 2000

INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED, HAND CAST, & HAND PAINTED

This is a hand cast, hand painted figurine of former Vice President Al Gore made to match the classic collectible Marx Toy Company President figures of the 1950s and 60s. It is 60mm tall (about 2 3/4 inches), weighs about an ounce, is cast from a resin plastic, and is painted with enamel paint. Each figure is sequentially numbered and, to date, few than 25 have been made.

As collectors know, during the run of their Presidential figure series, Marx made several prototype figurines of candidates in the event that they actually won the Presidency. These figures include Adlai Stevenson, Barry Goldwater, and Hubert Humphrey. Although they were never sold directly to the general public, many have found their way into the collector marketplace. The Humphrey figure appears on eBay weekly and unpainted figures of Stevenson and Goldwater (in two poses) also show up on occasion. This figurine picks up where the Marx prototypes left off.

Elsewhere in this store you'll find every other major party Presidential nominee since 1944, figurines of the seven presidents that Marx never made, a set of Supreme Court figurines, and a series of Famous American figurines.
