Description: In 1953 Hartland Plastics dived into the popular Western themed TV shows and developed a series of Cowboy character toys and horse figures for children made of acetate based plastic and painted them with acetate based paint, leaving a smooth finish from one color to another. The figures were molded in two halves and glued together. In 1962 Hartland decided to test market two NFL sports figures – Johnny Unitas and Jon Arnett (1 was popular on the east coast and one on the west coast). With the acceptance of these two at $2.49 each, all 14 NFL teams at the time were subsequently given a running back and a lineman the following year. Each box contained an 8” figurine mounted on a green base with the team name in gold with its logo on the front edge. Reportedly 5000 of each figure were produced, but some are almost impossible to find today. This is an original vintage "Jon Arnett" from the test run in 1962. Statue is listed as "Used", but is in beautiful condition, with few signs of wear. The original green plastic base has been replaced with a similar sized stained wooden one. Please closely examine the photos to see exactly what you are looking to purchase. The photos are a critical part of the Condition Description. There is no original box. However, the figure will be packed very carefully, enclosed in multiple layers of bubble wrap, and quickly sent in a new heavy duty cardboard box. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this unique piece of history.
