WONDERFUL, original ANTIQUE German, c. 1890 , large SANTA papiermache (paper mache) candy container, all original, without repairs and in generally very good condition. He measure measures about, 10 12 high with removable head and torso half for storage of candies and gifts. The bottom half is weighted with his nicely detailed (although chipped) black boots which still bear the round: Made in Germany, blue label. On his back SANTA CLAUS carries his original large red, crepe paper bag and the original green paper “feather” tree with red berry. This attractive figure of St. Has realistically molded and painted features including thick eyebrows, blue eyes and painted wrinkles as well as a rabbit fur beard, mustache and hair beneath his dark red jacket with white trim, red stocking cap with matching white trim, BLUE trousers and black belt. What a FANTASTIC piece of Christmas tradition, treasured and well preserved. He can stand alone but is best supported with a stand and his boots would benefit from a bit of repair.
