Vintage Christmas Made in Japan Santa Claus Figure 9 Inches Tall 1940s

  

This wonderful Santa figure is a lofty 9 tall. He is an unusual size for a Made in Japan Santa Claus. Santa is wearing his usual red woven cotton flannel suit and hat. There is chenille trim around the edges. He has a bisque or ceramic face with blue eyes.

His beard is cotton and is fluffy. He has a black velvet belt with a faux silver buckle.

His boots are black cardboard. He is carrying a green cotton bag on his back. There is mica snow on the base around his boots. As I mentioned above, Santa is 9" tall x 4-5/8" wide x 4-3/4 deep.

He was made in Japan but is no longer marked. There is a partial label on the bottom as well as. 88 which was the original price.

This Santa figure is from the 1940s. Santa was put out every year through the years. His boots are made from cardboard tubes. The right boot is pushed in at the top. There is a crease at the top of this boot.

There is some glue residue around the chenille. The snow is a bit dusty. There is also a drip mark at the edge of the cardboard base. They help with the description.

My price reflects the condition. I love to consider reasonable offers. Thanks for shopping in my store!
