GENERAL INFORMATION. In 1972 Baston modified three Sebastians and created a new Adams and Madison into a series "Fathers of the American Revolution." Thousands of sets of these figurines were sold during the Bicentennial period. In 1974, the five bases were modified to fit on the top of five porcelain bells as a Bicentennial bell set. Relatively few (less than 500 sets) were sold. All ten models were discontinued in 1977.
