    When I met the man at last year’s FUN show, he had no such accessory. Unless it was in his pocket.

    I remember this photo of you and Ben from the Fun Show I believe.
    The fact it does swivel wins the award today for "Attention to Detail" without a doubt.

    It’s a great statue. I would worry about vandals or kids breaking off the coin or his glasses, though.

    That's a cool statue and a rare standout today when I thought all statues of our Founding Fathers had been lewdly and obscenely graffitied.
