• Product Description

• Regarded as one of this country's foremost political leaders and diplomats, Thomas Jefferson served his country for nearly five decades. As a member of the House of Burgesses and Continental Congress, governor of Virginia, ambassador to France, and third President of the United States, Jefferson was a powerful advocate of liberty and religious freedom. His bobblehead likeness nods sagely and makes a powerful case that he is a great accessory for office, bookshelf, and home.

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.
