This is just one lot of hundreds of estate Christmas Holiday ornaments etc that I shall be listing in the coming weeks. Some came from Germany, including East Berlin, some are Pennsylvania Dutch from Lancaster PA, and others are from VA, IN etc etc.
ALL are genuine antique or vintage, I do NOT sell reproductions! Given that they are all old, most will bear the expected marks of age and use - if they have visible flaws, I will detail those in the "Condition" section of the listing. ...
This is a fabulous antique German possibly papier mache-faced seated Santa riding in a handmade red tin sleigh pulled by a composition reindeer.
Santa is a handsome fellow, with a clay or composition face, and soft white leather beard and mustache, impressed to look like hair.
He is armless, and wears his original red felt coat and blue pants, both dotted with snow. His legs are wired, and he is firmly attached to his wooden seat in the sleigh.
In his sleigh, Santa brings wrapped presents, a paper "feather tree" branch, fruit and a mica covered bell. This is all tucked in a fine wire mesh bag that once held candies.
The sleigh is handmade from tin, and is decorated with 'snow' and is outlined in wired garland.
The whole effect is charming and would make a stunning addition to your Christmas display!
The ensemble is 11" long, 2 1/4" wide and 3 3/4" tall to top of Santa's head.
It dates to c.1920, was made in Germany and came to me from a Pennsylvania estate.
