FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!

Tom Clark Cairn Studio "Little Ben" Gnome Golfer Figurine #5277 #99 Vintage 1995
• Tom Clark/Cairn Studio "Little Ben" golfer gnome figurine, #5277 • Cast resin in yellow, red, green, brown & gray • Vintage 1995, edition #99 (retired 2000) • Handwriting on bottom • 6 1/4" L x 4" W x 6 1/8" H • Marked on base • Made in North Carolina, USA • COA not included Collectible and rare, "Little Ben" golfer gnome statue #5277 by talented artist Tom Clark of Cairn Studio! It is dated 1995, edition #99. From the creation story card (not included): Little Ben is a great putter. He's on the eighteenth hole, and this is the toughest shot of the day. The ball must travel across the forest floor and uphill into the moss acorn cup. Little Ben is using his lucky golf club, a custom-made, gnome-sized putter. He adjusts his grip, takes a deep breath, gently taps the ball - and it goes in! He has two coins from Japan. There is a "hole in one" and the other shows a "1" - maybe this means he has won. This is the first golfing statue I've made that shows the actual path made by the dimpled golf ball. Like his friends Dinah, Dormie and Mulligan, Little Ben thinks that the game of golf is the path to true happiness!
