BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Three Vintage 1973 Ceramichrome BisqueKITS Commemorative Bi-Centennial Series Paint-By-Number Ceramic Kits
This lot features three vintage paint-by-number ceramic model kits manufactured by Ceramichrome Inc. under the BisqueKITS brand name. Dated 1973, these kits were part of the manufacturer’s Commemorative Bi-Centennial Series celebrating the United States bicentennial. Each kit contains a genuine bisque ceramic figure intended to be painted and finished without the need for kiln firing. The figures are based on original sculptures by artist Charles M. Madsen.
The three kits included are:
1. Commander In Chief (Model G0801): Features a ceramic figure of George Washington.
2. The Officer (Model G0802): Features a ceramic figure of a Revolutionary War officer.
3. The Minute Man (Model G0803): Features a ceramic figure of a colonial militiaman.
Each kit includes the white bisque ceramic figure, a strip of plastic paint pots, and an artist’s paintbrush. The packaging features a photographic representation of the finished product, historical context, and paint-by-number instructions. The Minute Man box includes a promotional sticker indicating extra paint pots are included inside.
Condition report:
The kits appear to be unstarted and unused. The bisque ceramic figures remain in their original plastic packaging and show no signs of paint application. The paint strips and brushes are present, although the viability of the liquid paint cannot be guaranteed given the age of the items. The original cardboard boxes show moderate to heavy shelf wear, including corner crushing, edge wear, small tears, and remnants of old adhesive tape. The box for The Officer is missing its top closure flap.
