Description: Tom Clark Cairn Studio 1989 - 'Paddy' - Item #5075 ED # 99 Excellent Condition -This note was taken from CAIRN -- COLLECTORS GUIDE -- VOLUME IV This entry appears in the Tom Clark section on page 25. "PADDY #5075(Cancer, 1989) Paddy is proudly carrying a sandwich board made of two police badges. The badge in the front (from Wheat Ridge, Colorado) proclaims his name and domain. Cairn Ridge, the name of my mountain home. Paddy’s second badge is from the Davidson College Security Force. The badges symbolize that Paddy stands behind his local police, and that the police are always there to back him up. This little Irish Woodspirit has a coin from Ireland, in honor of the strong tradition of the Irish in law enforcement. Behind Paddy is his little paddy wagon, made from a moss oak acorn shell., which carries his policeman’s whistle. The token indicates that if you live “in Concord” with your fellow man, then not only parking, but also life in general will be free and easy! Paddy has two nickels, representing the 55 miles per hour speed limit. When you’re driving the posted speed limit, then you’re really on the money. The shark’s tooth between the nickels warns you to beware of money sharks Paddy has scattered birdseed around the base, for all of the jailbirds. His bullet has not been fired, and serves as a reminder that policemen are prepared at all times, to protect and serve. I’d like to thank all of the policemen who donated their badges to me for this statue."
