Robert F. Kennedy Wheaton Bottle. $22.95. The photograph may not look that dynamic but when you see this item in person you'll pat yourself on the back for getting it. A dynamic mid green color. Has that oily color look at certain angles in brilliant light.
With the Kennedy (John & Robert) brothers being the most populaly collected political figures; this one is sure to get tougher and more expensive to acquisition into your collection. $7.95 p&h includes insurance to the United States. Add a few political pinbacks to your order and we'll ship them at no charge in your RFK bottle box.
Simply put: No other image captures the essence of the 1976 campaign image of Jimmy Carter. You could collect one hundred campaign buttons or campaign pinbacks, if you prefer; but no item whether it's three- dimensional or not does it close to this! The Atlanta Journal Constitution featured this item (no not this exact one) in it's Sunday Magazine back in the mid to latter part of themid 1970's.
Most likely no two examples are alike. There were many different Carter items that were produced via ceramic (plaster) molds and individuals (as opposed to a mass marketed & manufactured) made their own and finished them to their tastes. We acquired three different ones from a collector who sought one for about sixteen years (wow - talk about patience) before getting the first example. Two were actually found (this one included) in the actual town of Plains, Ga when a merchant remembered he had three and put them on display.
A fantastic display piece in excellent condition. Not quite ten inches high and a little over seven inches at it's widest point. Only $129.95 plus U.S. Postage of $9.95, incurance included.
The tiny town of Plains, GA (less than 700 people, if we recollect correctly) ahad many of it townsfolk jump onto the commercialism and tourist dollars by selling all sorts of Plains, Ga Home of Jimmy Carter souvineers. From the downright cheap and tacky to some very well made items. About 3.50 inches in diamter and over one inch high...in excellent to new condition - never used as as an ashtay.
We used three different ones to show you all three panels. You are buying only one. $9.95 plus $4.95 p&h...throw in a couple of campaign buttons or campaign pinbacks if you prefer and for jut a little more we'll ship them together!
Perhaps the creme de le ceme of all non single items (items that only were made of or individual made items) Carter 3-D memorbilia. This item sold on eBay several years for close to $800.00. As far as we Enesco started making a presidential series with Carter. Though not that many, per se, were made of the Carter one. When elected Reagan was featured holding a jelly bean, then there was a George H.W. Bush (when he became president) model made as well.
Very few of these have survived in an excelletn plus to near mint range. A fantastic display piece by itself or for any general political collection. The collector that deacquisitioned from his collection told us he had only seen two or three over 22 years... and watched the prices go from about $85-$120 to the eBay example nearing $800. He waited for a better condition piece and nailed this beauty.
Yours for only $699.00 plus approximately $20 for shipping - this will be sent with a required delivery signature and insured as well.
An absolutley fantastic novelty item and it fits right into a Carter 3-D memorabilia collection. Equally at home in it's proper place which is most likely a Planter's Peanuts collection.
If you'll check the photos there is actuall a "slide" that you pull out and it dispenses peanuts or anything you want to put it into. Great bar item! Fits well in to an older bubble gum type collection. The only one we ever sw! Most liklely very few of these have survived in an excellent plus to near mint range. A fantastic display piece by itself or for any general collection. The collector that deacquisitioned from his collection told us he had never seen another one in his over 40 years of collecting.
Yours for only $199.00 plus approximately $20 for shipping - this will be sent with a required delivery signature and insured as well.
In excellent plus condition - there is a little non detracting flecking... extremely tiny area where the plaster has flecked off and these can easily be touched up but also give it an aged and "weathered" character look.
We acquired three different ones from a collector who sought one for about ten years (wow - talk about patience) before getting the first example. He eventually gathered up three examples (over about 22 years of specializing in Carter... and two are offered here.

Debate has raged for years over this item... whether it's flower pot (unlikely but possibly or a peanut or candy type holder which we think is somewhat more likely. Certainly it is very doubtful that there are two examples that are the same. There were many different Carter items that were produced via ceramic (plaster) molds and individuals (as opposed to a mass marketed & manufactured) made their own and finished them to their tastes.

If I Go To Jail. Lester Maddox owned The Pickrick restaurant in 1960's Atlanta. He was an avowed segretationist. He recorded this album and there were many novelties then as in later years. One is a chicken leg "phooey whistle" which we'll be adding soo. He defeated then State Senator Jimmy Carter in the 1966 Demo primary and was elected by the Georgia Legisature failing to win a plurality and actually losing the popular vote to Republican Howard Bo Callaway. This album is from that era and was autographed probably in the 1970's.
Lester in later years opened a souvineer shop in Underground Atlnata whuich he operated in the mid to late 1970's Selling his likeness on clocks, watches etc. He was a notorius signer when purchasing something or just an old campaign sign if you asked him, too. He became in failing health and in the latte part of his life all the Maddox items were sold off to speculators and most are hard to come by but they surface here and there.
We offer this 100% guaranteed autograph album - never played - never removed from the cover. The plastic was removed when Lester signed them. Only $19.95 plus $6.95 p&h - shipped flat protected by cardbaord.
Keep an eye out as we add more Lester Maddox items and keep an eye in the State and Locals section for buttons etc.
