Item Description
2.25”, no maker’s name. Spring pin holds body below big cello button which once had a tassel in the hole on Santa’s hat brim. The fabric on paper body seems to have been an innovation of the Phila. Badge Co. as seen on 1930 era buttons for Rin-Tin-Tin, Freaks, and several other movies as well as 1.25” Santas. See previous lot for another example. Tiny raised cello dot on Santa’s chin which is likely as made. Glossy and Exc. One known. Rare.
