Frankoma Republican Elephant Mugs (1969, 1971, 1973, 1980)
This set of four Frankoma Republican Elephant Mugs spans from 1969 to 1980, capturing crucial moments in GOP history. The 1969 and 1973 mugs are specially marked with "Nixon-Agnew," commemorating Richard Nixon’s presidency and his successful elections. These collectible pieces are part of the iconic Frankoma series, featuring the signature maker’s mark: Frankoma US Pat D215-868, and proudly labeled "GOP." From the personal collection of State Representative Candidate Kimberly Skaggs, this set will be accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
The Nixon years saw the beginning of significant conservative policy shifts, with Nixon taking office in 1969. His landslide re-election in 1972 was marked by his second inauguration in 1973, though this term would later be overshadowed by the Watergate scandal. Fast forward to 1980, and the Republican Party experienced another defining moment with Ronald Reagan’s election, heralding a new conservative era in American politics.
Condition: Good, no damage, chips, or cracks. Visible crazing typical of Frankoma pottery from this era.
Size: Each mug stands 4" in height.
This set is a fantastic addition for collectors, offering a snapshot of the political climate from the Nixon to Reagan eras, along with Frankoma’s celebrated craftsmanship.
