Garniture of three American Statesmen

    These figures were manufactured in the 1850s by the Thomas Parr pottery. 14-15 inches tall.
   You know the Benjamin Franklin figure at the right; this figure was titled Franklin. and Washington. so that the same mould could be used twice, saving money for the frugal pottery.
   You know the George Washington figure at the left, which is extremely rare, but obviously it is George and was potted as George.
   You probably have never seen the middle figure which is a really rare figure, the rarest of the three, Thomas Jefferson.
