GEORGE McGOVERN
Democratic Nominee for President in 1972
INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED, HAND CAST, & HAND PAINTED
This is a hand cast, hand painted figurine of former South Dakota Senator George McGovern made to match the classic collectible Marx Toy Company President figures of the 1950s and 60s (a photo shows the McGovern figurine next to the original Marx figurine of Richard Nixon from 1968). 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 individually and sequentially numbered.
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 regularly 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 figurines of every other major party presidential nominee since 1944. In addition, you'll find the U.S. presidents that Marx never made, a set of Supreme Court figurines, and a series of Famous American figurines.
