Item Description
1.25" w/curl naming maker The Meek Co. An obviously great full figure Santa on moonlit snowy rooftop bearing a gigantic toy sack. What's more interesting is how this was used as an advertising button for small business owners across the USA (rather than for department stores). We've seen this design five times and each was different. This reads "A Merry Xmas And A Happy New Year/From The Theatorium/Always A Good Show." For the record, we also had this design one time each as: a no text salesman's sample, Santa for Sunshine Bread in Westfield, Pa., Santa for Stoltenberg's Shoes in Albany, Oregon and Santa for his Little Friends of the Atlanta Journal. Just a tad more than typical oxidation on metal back. Cello is Exc. Rare. One known.
