Item Description
1.25" of giant full figure Santa holding toy sack in one hand and with yellow mitten presenting the "Fraser's" Department Store along a city street with tiny images of horse-drawn vehicles, trolleys, autos and people. c. 1907 with back paper by Bastian used 1907-1920. This Utica, NY department store issued many different Santa buttons but this is a particularly rare design. In addition, few designs show a full figure Santa.
