1930s VINTAGE / ANTIQUE SANTA DOLL 25”

This jolly old elf has been down the chimney a few times…he’s a bit faded and soiled, but oh, what character! And he has a broken romance in his history, as well… He was given to a young man in the 1930s by his then girlfriend, who later broke up with him. Reminded of his lost love, the fella  gave the doll to his young niece, who has had it all these years.

Santa stands  25” tall. He has a molded, hand-painted cloth face with a mohair beard. His left cheek is punched in.  The suit and cap are of flannel, now faded to a real antique copper/orange. The belt is paper covered with black plastic, with a metal silver-colored buckle. Santa’s boots are painted black and are weighted so he can stand alone. His body is stuffed with straw. There are a few  stains on his hands, but he is rich with personality! He displays beautifully, especially with other antiques—picture him with an old sled piled with gifts…Similar Santas book at $200.00 and above.
