TRIED & TRUE IS PLEASED TO OFFER UP FOR AUCTION....... ... THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT......SPECIAL GIFTS FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE CAN BE FOUND !!! A rare antique Papier-Mache' Santa. I acquired this great Santa many years ago at an estate sale in Plymouth, MA. At that time the previous owner stated he was from the late 19th century and of German decent. Although he is showing his age with wear throughout his body, he still stands straight and proud. A really unique rare piece to add to your Santa or holiday collection. My description of condition is of my own opinion, please view photos to determine your own. This Santa is being offered AS IS with a low starting bid and no reserve. I will happily email you more photos upon request. Condition: Fair antique condition---wear to back of boots, chips and cracks around red coat trim--some flakes all over body-- Signed: No-- Dated: No---late 19th early 20th century Measures: 10" high x 6" Weight: About six ounces before packaging Please view all photos and note any white spots are from my camera flash and not defects unless mentioned above.
