I can see it also and can relate to " so ugly it's cute." I think many felt that way when they met Lincoln.

But back in the 1960's, Mold A Rama machines were the predecessor to 3D Printers. For a couple dollars, you could make a plastic figure of an animal or a car and take it home with you. The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI has 10 of these machines and one features a bust of Abraham Lincoln:

I've had mine since 2008 and keep it on my desk at home.

Thomas, this is really cool. When I was young they didn't have such neat machines. The ones I knew flattened pennies thus elongating Lincoln's image.
