Christmas Eve Inc. Santa Claus Figurine Ornament 1915 Rare Collectible
Memories of Santa - Santa Claus
This Figurine - Ornament is dated 1915, representing Santa Claus in 1915. These are not the cheap versions being manufactured and sold currently by Walmart. They are the original productions made in the 1980-90's.
Santa is wearing a red coat and hat with white trim over a bright blue pair of pants, black boots and a belt. He also wears yellow gloves and in his right hand he is carrying a small Christmas tree. In his left hand, he is carrying a drum and a trumpet. At the time of listing, I have three of these available in similar conditions.
I am listing my entire collection individually for collectors who may be interested in obtaining just one or two pieces they have been searching for. This collection is incredibly rare. Photo's can be seen of my entire collection below. The figurine has a gold rope strung through the top, suitable for hanging as an ornament. Whether displayed as a figurine or as an ornament, they are just as appealing to the eye.

Some Information on the history of the collection:
Originally manufactured by Christmas Eve, Inc. and then in later years by Christmas Reproductions, Inc., this unique collection portrays Santa Claus through the years. Inspired by chocolate molds, advertisements and Antique postcards, these highly detailed figurines portray Santa from his origin as St. Nicholas to how we know him today as Jolly Ole" Santa Claus.
Though Santa Claus has surely changed over the years, from his garments to his country of origin, the Story of St. Nicholas and the spirit he brought to Christmas has remained consistent and has maintained interest and excitement as Santa Claus today.
Each figure in the Collection is made of earthenware, one of the oldest materials used to make ceramics.
The earthenware itself is created using a mixture of koalin, quartz, and feldspar and is then fired at over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Each piece is then individually hand painted, and given a stain wash to highlight the fine details of each Santa.
The Earthenware collection was produced from 1983 to 2002. and was comprised of 139 Santa's. At the time of listing I have 39 to sell and three that need restoring.
