If you are looking for a particular year or political party, send me an email. If I have that specific mug, I will list it on Ebay and let you know.
Below is a little history about these mugs.
Thank you!!
History of the Frankoma Political Mugs:
John Frank first designed a 5 oz. elephant mug as a fund raiser for the National Republican Women's Club in
1968
. It was so successful that the mug was added to the production line the following year, turning it into another collector series. (Naturally the Nixon/Agnew ticket winning the election helped in the decision as well).
In
1975
, Joniece Frank designed a Democrat donkey compliment. In inaugural years, mugs bear the name of the President and Vice President. All mugs show the date and have the GOP or DEM on them. These mugs were produced up until
2005
, when the plant officially closed.
