A CAST OF PRESIDENT EISENHOWER’S HANDS

DWIGHT EISENHOWER (1890-1969).  Eisenhower was the Thirty-Fourth President and Supreme Allied Commander of European forces World War II. 

A cast of Dwight Eisenhower’s hands, made in 1963.  The hands are separate from each other, and are bronze colored; they are hollow, not solid.  The detail is exacting enough that one can see the wrinkles in Ike’s skin.  The hands are attached to a lucite that base measures 12” by 12”.  There is a small plaque on the base stating “DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER President U.S. 1952-1960” (the dates are incorrect).   There are only three of these Eisenhower casts in the world, and this is the only one available for sale; it was given to one of Eisenhower’s close advisors and had once been on loan to the Eisenhower Presidential Library.  Once these three casts were made, the mold was destroyed.  A terrific Presidential memento.
