Atlanta - Poncey-Highland: Jimmy Carter Library and Museum - Oval Office

            The kicking glass donkey on Jimmy Carter's oval office desk was made by Hans Godo Frabel, and given to President Carter by the Georgia Democratic Party.  "The Buck Stops Here" sign was given to Carter by Margaret Truman, the daughter of President Harry Truman, who popularized the phrase.  The Sailor's Prayer plaque was given to Carter by his mentor in the Navy, Admiral Hyman Rickover.

This desk sits in a full-scale replica of Jimmy Carter’s White House Oval Office, furnished exactly as it was during his administration.
