ADLAI STEVENSON

Democratic Nominee for President in 1952 & 1956

INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED, HAND CAST, & HAND PAINTED

This is a hand cast, hand painted RECAST figurine of Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson originally made by the Marx Toy Company to match its President figures of the 1950s and 60s.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.

As collectors know, during the run of their presidential figurine 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 is a painted RECAST of the Stevenson figurine.

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