This is a mid-20th century Santa Claus figure measuring approximately 12 inches tall, featuring a plush, flocked red and white suit, with a matching hat and artificial white beard. The face is molded with expressive blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and white painted eyebrows and mustache. The Santa is finished with a black plastic belt fitted with a square metal buckle and black molded boots.
The soles of the boots are stamped “JAPAN” and “PATENT PENDING,” indicating likely post-WWII Japanese export manufacture, a period known for such collectible holiday items.
The figure’s construction combines flocked fabric and molded plastic elements typical of its era, and it exhibits gentle wear consistent with age and handling. This Santa would appeal to collectors of mid-century holiday decorations and Japanese export toys, offering a tangible link to mid-1900s seasonal traditions.
