I met our finger-sized friend Calvin here on ebay. Apparently there was a line of toys in the 60s that commemorated POTUS 1-36 in tiny statue form. Imagine all the fun kids could have by convening a Presidential caucus and playing out a debate on domestic energy policy! I committed a geek cardinal sin by taking this out of its original packaging but I doubt highly that it will soon appreciate above it's $3.50 market clearing level on ebay. You can collect all 36 but I think I will stop at one. I chose Mr. Coolidge because I think he might be the least celebrated or denigrated POTUS in American history. While I do hope to one day visit his home and historical site in Plymouth Notch, VT, it doesn't even have a full size statue! (only a bust).
