Admiral Dewey Portrait Figure -- You May Fire When Ready, Gridley

Description

This solid metal -- possibly but not probably lead -- portrait figure was originally sculpted as a hard plastic portrait of Adm. Dewey made and sold by the Marx Toy company.  It matches that company's famous Presidents portraits.  Like that series, it has Dewey's name on the face of the stand and his date of birth and death on the reverse side of the stand.  I don't know the name of the creator of this metal version, but it's not Marx.  The painting is beautiful.
