Long Description
I acquired these Santas from a friend who could only tell me it had been in his family for as long as he could remember. Â He is 50 years old. Â I am really interested to know the history behind these Santas: when and where they were made, and what they are referred to as. They are beautiful.
They appear to be a metal paint over porcelain. Â The 17 inch Santa has a brown painted wood base but no inscription, and has a little wear. Â The two 5 inch Santas are in mint condition, very shiny, have no base and are hollow inside. Â They are all heavy in weight.
Thank you very much!
