#60 Oakwood Village, OH – Waving Giant

IMG_20120625_091501International Fiberglass did not use a specific name for this statue.  Therefore, I have nicknamed this particular model the “Waving Giant.”  It is described in International Fiberglass’ product listings as 22 feet tall, with a long sleeve shirt, necktie, dress slacks and shoes.  It mentions that the statue is lifelike and is also available with a suit coat.  These statues weigh 325 pounds and were sold for $3,000 in 1964 which equals $22,600 in today’s economy. It is not known if these Waving Giants were produced for a particular company or for a type of business.

  1. This particular statue stood proudly at the Amoco Gas Station on Whipple Ave & 12th St. In Canton Ohio for a few years in the late 60’s early 70’s and traveled to other Amoco Stations in Ohio before retiring to the Raff Rd. Go Kart place … where they were going to build a miniature golf course and he was to be the 18th hole feature
