UNIQUE DOUBLE-SIDED FOLK ART \"KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT\" DONKEY ON WHEELS CIRCA 1960.
THE ORAL LORE REGARDING THIS ITEM IS THAT IT WAS ON THE FLOOR AT THE 1960 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. IT SUPPOSEDLY CAME FROM A DELEGATE TO THE CONVENTION AND STORED AT THE FAMILY\'S HOME ON MARTHA\'S VINEYARD SUBSEQUENTLY.
I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR PHOTOS FROM THE CONVENTION AND WATCHED SOME FILM CLIPS BUT COULD NOT DOCUMENT THAT THIS PIECE WAS ACTUALLY THERE.
HOWEVER, IT IS GENUINELY VINTAGE AND BEING THAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE PORTABLE IT WAS MOST LIKELY USED AS A CAMPAIGN DISPLAY IN A PUBLIC ARENA AT THE TIME.
THE DOUBLE-SIDED DONKEY FIGURE ITSELF MEASURES ROUGHLY 49\" x 45\" AND IS CUT OUT OF 1/4\" PLYWOOD. BOTH SIDES HAVE A CURSIVE \"KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT\" SLOGAN PAINTED ON.
THE BASE IS ON CASTORS SO THAT IT CAN EASILY BE MOVED AROUND. THE BASE MEASURES ROUGHLY 56\" LONG BY 11.5\" WIDE BY 6\" HIGH.
IMPRESSIVE SIZE THAT REALLY CAPTURES THE EYE AND HAS IMPRESSED OUR DOG, LILY. 6 FOOT LADDER IN ONE PIC FOR SIZE REFERENCE.
SHIPPING TO BE DETERMINED BY BUYER. IT MAY BE LESS EXPENSIVE TO DISASSEMBLE AND SHIP BUT I WILL LEAVE SUCH A DECISION TO THE BUYER.
FREE PICK UP IN RHODE ISLAND IS AVAILABLE AND I WILL DELIVER FOR FREE WITHIN A 60 MILE RADIUS OF PROVIDENCE.
***TO BE CLEAR, SHIPPING TO BE DETERMINED AND WORKED OUT WITH BUYER DEPENDING UPON WHERE THE BUYER WANTS IT SHIPPED. SHIPPING TO BE PAID BY THE BUYER. FOR LISTING PURPOSES ONLY SHIPPING HAS BEEN ENTERED AT $100 BUT IT MAY BE MORE OR LESS DEPENDING ON METHOD CHOSEN BY BUYER. ACTUAL SHIPPING METHOD AND PRICE TBD.
CERTAINLY A ONE-OF-A-KIND ITEM THAT WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY KENNEDY OR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COLLECTION.
OVERALL CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. PLEASE EXAMINE ALL 12 PICTURES FOR CONDITION. SLIGHT DING TO TIP OF EAR ON ONE SIDE. A LITTLE PAINT LOSS ABOVE MUZZLE ON ONE SIDE.
AMAZING THAT IT IS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
HOW COOL WOULD IT BE FOR YOU TO PICK IT UP AT THE JFK LIBRARY?
