• Honoring great civil rights pioneer and U.S. Congressman John Lewis, this bobblehead is an impressive likeness of the preeminent American. Featuring a collector card of a portrait of Congressman Lewis by the artist Carl Hess, this piece makes a tremendous gift to give, or a memento of an astonishing life to keep for yourself.

Bobbleheads gained popularity in the United States in the 1960s when Major League Baseball commissioned papier-mâché and ceramic bobbleheads of four baseball players: Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Willie Mays. Bobbleheads soon became popular for other sports as well as cartoon characters. Advances in construction techniques and materials, as well as the use of plastic instead of ceramic and other fragile substances, have enabled the mass production of current-day bobbleheads as durable collectible items.
