Official 2017 White House Christmas Ornament Franklin Roosevelt President

Official 2017 White House Christmas Ornament The Official 2017 White House Christmas ornament honors the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The ornament is crafted from shiny brass plated with nickel and 24-karat gold. 3”X2 3/4”. I do have two of these in case you want another. The ornament was designed using elements unique to the life and legacy of President Roosevelt. The eagle cartouche emblazoned on the speaker’s stand at President Roosevelt’s first inauguration is the inspiration for the main element of the 2017 ornament. The two flags below have forty-eight stars each, representing the number of states in the union during Roosevelt’s four terms. The shape of the ornament is reminiscent of the silhouette of a tabletop radio – similar to those many Americans had in their homes and used to listen to the president’s reassuring Fireside Chats. Roosevelt’s beloved Fala is pictured on the back.
