Teddy Roosevelt Bobblehead

Product Description

President Theodore Roosevelt was affectionately known to American voters as good old TR. Being somewhat of a rabid warmonger, good old TR first gained national prominence as Assistant Secretary of the Navy when he advocated war with Spain in 1898. He organized and commanded the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, better known as the Rough Riders, and became famous for leading dual charges up Kettle Hill and San Juan Hill during the Spanish/American War while yelling “Charge!” In 1901 he was Vice President at age 42 when he succeeded President William McKinley as president after McKinley's assassination. As of 2008, TR is still the youngest person ever to become President.

The Teddy Roosevelt bobblehead features the famous grin-and-bear-it President Teddy sporting a vest and bow tie while holding a cute little baby Teddy. Because production of the Teddy Roosevelt bobblehead has ceased, it has become a valuable collector’s item. It is made out of lightweight polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, a thermoplastic polymer that is commonly used to make figurines because it can be molded into any shape and it is compatible with a wide variety of different paint finishes. Your Teddy Roosevelt bobblehead gift will be packed and shipped in a colorful cardboard collector's box with a cellophane display window. .
