Vintage Standing Santa Claus Blow Mold Plastic Tabletop Decoration
Description
A vintage blow-molded plastic holiday figure depicting Santa Claus in a traditional standing pose. The figure is constructed from red and cream-colored plastic with painted details. Santa is dressed in a classic red suit with cream trim, black boots, and a black belt featuring a molded and painted buckle. The beard and facial features are textured, with painted blue eyes and red lips. The figure is designed to be illuminated, featuring a circular aperture on the reverse for the insertion of a light cord and socket assembly. No manufacturer name, mark, or country of origin is present or readable on the exterior of the figure. The base of the boots is joined by a single molded plastic connecting tab.
Height: 13 inches.
Condition report:
The figure exhibits significant signs of age and previous use. There is heavy cream-colored discoloration and yellowing to all originally white plastic areas, including the beard, hat trim, cuffs, and coat border (photo 1). Multiple areas of paint loss and scuffing are visible on the red suit, particularly on the chest and lower coat (photo 1 and 3). The black boots show surface abrasions and paint wear (photo 3). The reverse shows surface scuffs and minor soiling, particularly around the light aperture (photo 2). The internal light cord and bulb are not included. The plastic shell appears structurally sound with no visible cracks or dents.
