Candy Container ~
Condition: OVERALL really Great --
Pretty well NEAR MINT Condition
Just Zoom in on his face -
Just OUTSTANDING --
Facial Expression is the best
Has a tuff of hair showing in front under his hood
Has a Fu-Man-Chu Mustache
and Deeply carved BEARD
and those piercing Blue Eyes
His hood is lined with the early red cloth woven tinsel
The bottom of his coat has a wide band of greenish/gold mica
Santa is sanding on huge snow mound - in front a wooden stump ---
NOTICE the heavily design in the wood stump - wood graining with knot hole effects
The bottom carries the original paper covering - appears to have been opened and reclosed
The onlyNOTED PROBLEM~~ Santa many many years ago, more than he can remember --- as he was entering a child\'s home - upon going though the door he had hit his head on the door frame -- thus, the front very tip of his hood was cracked/broken - and glued back on -- view the photo\'s close up!
Other than that
This is one that would be hard to beat in finding one better !!!
REALLY ~ NO OTHER DAMAGE NOTED
This would make a FANTASIC Belsnickle to add to YOUR holiday collection of Santa Candy Containers
