Item Description
7/8". Cello front is a hair concave and .25" of collet has very mild oxidation. These minor issues are greatly exceeded by the graphic and richly colored Santa. With close attention, his toy sack can be seen upper right. Upper left, what looks like tiny yellow stars in a dark sky, with a glass, turn out to be a background of green holly - accented by a single red berry at far right near 3 o'clock. While his left shoulder clearly shows a toy sack strap, what he holds in his right hand is unclear- he could be removing a darker brown bag strap or holding the reins of unseen reindeer. And he is further distinguished among Santa buttons as having bare mitten-less hands! Exc. Rare.
