On the legs there is black boots that show wear and on Right hand there is some wear. From the waist up the body and hands are made of composition and legs and arms do move some.

There is wear and he is not perfect for his age condition is good. I looked him up in in Christmas book and They were made in Germany between 1870's and World War 1. They are hollow cast in two molds then thin layer of plaster and some were use for candy containers and decorations for fire place mantles and table tops. The name Belsnickle is German word for Santa Claus or Father Christmas.

Belsnickles are uncommon and rare so sometimes prices are very high. Lights and Decorations My book I used for Christmas information is Christmas Ornaments, Lights and Decorations by George Johnson. I describe every thing as I see it I can not describe no more no less. Questions are important I ask fair market price but I will consider reasonable offer.
