THE BOBBLEHEAD GALLERY


ON THE PAGES OF THIS UNIQUE SPORTS ART GALLERY YOU'LL SEE EXAMPLES OF ALL ORIGINAL, HAND PAINTED BOBBLEHEADS (or NODDER DOLLS).

PLEASE COME IN

AND BROWSE AROUND


AN ONLINE GALLERY TO VIEW UNUSUAL NODDERS THAT ARE THE CULMINATAION OF TWO PEOPLE WHO SHARE A LOVE OF SPORTS, DOLLS, AND ART.

FROM NEW BASEBALL TEAMS TO OLD,

CURRENT PLAYERS TO THOSE RETIRED,

AND OTHER SPORTS TOO!EVEN FICTIONAL PLAYERS

OUR BOBBLEHEADS ARE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE MASS PRODUCED AND WIDELY MARKETED NODDERS THAT ARE SO POPULAR AMONG SPORTS COLLECTORS.

WHY

FIRST, THEY ARE INDIVIDUALLY MADE BY POURING A MULTI-CLAY BLEND SLIP INTO A MOLD. AFTER IT HAS SET, THE TWO PIECES ARE CLEANED AND SLOW FIRED TO BECOME A HARD WHITE BISQUE (fired to cone 04). AFTER A SECOND CLEANING, EACH ONE IS HAND PAINTED WITH SEVERAL COATS OF HIGH QUALITY STAINS BEFORE ADDING THE FINE DETAILS OF LOGOS, LETTERING, STRIPES, ETC. FINALLY, BEFORE THE HEAD IS ATTACHED TO THE BODY WITH A SPRING THAT CREATES THE "BOBBLE", THEY ARE VARNISHED WITH A PROTECTIVE MATTE SEALER.

THERE IS FAR MORE ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAN FOUND IN MASS PRODUCED BOBBIN HEADS SINCE EACH ONE IS MADE INDIVIDUALLY.

THESES BOBBERS STAND APPROXIMATELY 7 1/2" TALL AND HAVE A BASE OF 2 1/2". COMPLETELY HAND PAINTED -
NO DECALS OR STICKERS ARE EVER USED.

THIS IS A SAMPLING OF THE HISTORIC ACCURACY OF THE VINTAGE UNIFORMS
