Santa & Baby Jesus on ebay
I am putting a Santa holding Baby Jesus on ebay tonight. He has a stern look and the baby is a vintage, sleepy eyes , 4 inch, celluloid doll. He is wrapped in gauze and then is wrapped with a piece of antique quilt. It has some red in it and it just blends so nice.
Santa is a sitting Santa that would be 18 inches tall if he were standing. He has a faded red, flannel coat that is lined with Christmas green. He has a wide strip of rabbit fur down the front of his jacket. His jacket can be pulled back a little also. He has a Christmas vest on that was a never used glass wrap. It had lacquered holly leaves that I put on his hat.
Santa will have a basket on his lap with some holly leaves and a white bottle brush tree. In his right hand he is going to be hold a sprig of pine tree and 2 vintage mercury glass bulbs. In his left hand, Santa will have Baby Jesus. Baby Jesus and the basket are able to be moved. Hanging off the basket is a vintage quilt, Christmas stocking. It has a flat back doll and 2 candy canes in it.
Santa has a clay face, boots & gloved hands. His hood is trimmed in aged chenille. His boots trimmed in aged cotton batting. He has a leather belt holding his coat closed. He has on his coat a magic key to your house,.....or your heart, at Christmas time. It is pinned to his belt. Also on the pin in a tiny silver bell. It is quite dirty though.
Also in his basket, is a piece of WV coal. This is for the naughty children or to leave for someone who has no fire in their hearth. There are a few of wrapped gifts in the basket also.
I will post a picture as soon as I get them done. Bidding is starting out at 9.99. WOW !!
