Rare Antique German Santa Reindeer Candy Container And Sleigh Christmas Decor

  
THE PAPER MACHE SANTA IS WIRE ARTICULATED WITH ARMS THAT APPEAR TO BE TUCKED INTO HIS COAT, IS APPROX. 4 TALL, AND HAS A BLUE ROUND'MADE IN GERMANY LABEL,' STILL ATTACHED TO HIS BOOT.

I DO SEE THAT HE HAS NO FUR TO HIS BEARD AREA, CRACKLING TO THE BOOTS, DISCOLORATION AND FADING TO THE LONG RED FELT COAT AND TO THE WHITE TRIM. HE STILL HOLDS A PAPER LIKE TREE, AND HAS A BLUE BELT. 12, MEASURING AT ITS WIDEST POINTS.

IT IS MADE OF WOOD WITH LOOFAH MATERIAL, HELD TOGETHER WITH NAILS. THERE IS A RED RIBBON TIED AROUND THE SLED, WHICH I LEFT JUST SO AS FOUND, AND IT DOES HAVE WEAR DUE TO AGE. THE REINDEER IS COVERED ENTIRELY WITH A BROWN IN COLOR FELT LIKE WOOL FABRIC, AND EARS OF THE SAME MATERIAL. HE HAS GLASS EYES, ANTLERS THAT APPEAR TO BE METAL THAT HAVE SOME PAINT WEAR.

HE HAS LEATHER STRAPS / HARNESS, OF WHICH SOME PARTS MAY BE MISSING. HIS HEAD COMES OFF TO REVEAL THE CANDY STORAGE COMPARTMENT. HE HAS FOUR WOODEN BLACK HOOVES THAT ARE MADE WITH MUCH DETAIL, AND HE STANDS FREELY WITH NO WOBBLE APPROX. 5 1/4" TALL AND 5 1/2" WIDE MEASURING AT HIS WIDEST POINTS. TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL.

ENLARGE, ZOOM IN, INSPECT, AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF IF THIS RARE CHRISTMAS COLLECTIBLE FROM OLD WORLD GERMANY MADE WITH QUALITY WORKMANSHIP MAY BE SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO YOU. CONSIDERING THE AGE THESE RARE PIECES HAVE BEEN VERY WELL PRESERVED. PICTURES SERVE AS PART OF THIS DESCRIPTION, BUT DO MESSAGE WITH ANY QUESTIONS IN CASE I FORGOT TO MENTION SOMETHING OF IMPORTANCE TO YOU.
