 | This is a department store display SANTA CLAUS from the 1930s. Mounted on a base (later), it measures approximately 4 feet tall and weighs roughly 40-odd pounds. In the 1939 film "Love Affair" starring Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer, there is a scene picturing a department store window in New York, and there is a Santa identical to this one. (See black-and-white still from the movie). There are many scrapes and scratches, as you would expect from an antique this old, and there is a separation under the extended arm, but overall, it's in great shape with unfaded, vivid colors and detail.
This figure has a special pedigree for Reading, PA/Berks County residents and natives: it came from Pomeroy's Department Store at 6th & Penn in Reading. When the store closed down, the display manager, who was a close long-time friend of my parents, presented this to them as a special gift. It is a part of Reading/Berks history and a treasured collectible for anyone wanting to own an iconic piece of the area's past. | |
