MILWAUKEE Rockford natives Phil Sklar and Brad Novak are striking bobblehead gold with viral moments, the latest being a bobblehead take on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and his now famous Inauguration Day mittens.
The Guilford High School graduates who own and operate the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum released their Bernie Sanders Inauguration Day bobblehead on Jan. 20, and it has already become the museum’s second top-seller.
The bobblehead features Sanders seated on a folding chair, his legs and arms crossed, with his brown-and-white wool mittens resting on his chest, an image that went viral on social media during the inauguration of President Joe Biden.
Bernie Sanders's "inauguration mittens" were made by Jen Ellis, a Vermont elementary school teacher who has a side business making mittens out of recycled wool.

WASHINGTON About those wooly mittens that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders wore to the presidential inauguration, sparking endless quirky memes across social media? They ve helped to raise $1.8 million in the last five days for charitable organizations in Sanders home state of Vermont, the independent senator announced Wednesday.
The sum comes from the sale of merchandise with the Jan. 20 Agence France-Presse image of him sitting with his arms and legs crossed, clad in his brown parka and recycled wool mittens.
