Heres an early circa 1900 style handmade Santa Claus mask- you dont usually see a thin Santa with teeth. It is paper maiche over cardboard and hand painted with a toothy smile. The mask itself is about 9 long, not including the beard. The fabric hat is separate and is waxed or starched cloth and conical shaped.
It must have been red originally. My last photo shows a similar mask on page #152 of Robert Brenners book Christmas Revisited, 1986 by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. Please see photos for further information and feel free to ask for more photos or information. The item "Antique Santa Claus Figure Papier Mache Mask Creepy Father Christmas C.
