Antique 1920's Santa Gauze Mask Hand Painted Face Straw Stuffed Body 29 Germany

  
Antique 1920's-1930's Santa Claus 29 Inches Tall Hand Painted Gauze Mask Straw Stuffed Body possibly German made but I don't know that for sure. I find no maker name/markings on him. As for the Santa he is in very good condition for age. I find no tears, rips or holes on his body.

There is some age staining spots here and there. His hand painted gauze face has some tiny holes at the mouth and some staining as well.

His black boots on his body look like they are painted or possibly leather (again I don't know for sure photo 4). His clothing however I do not think is original to 1920's but more contemporary/vintage and someone made it to fit him just perfectly. His felt green gloves have yellow rick rack trim. The boots are actually some form of rubber with metal buckles. They are marked on the bottom MADE IN USA.

Somone also made shoulder pads for him (photo 13). Again I find no holes, tears or rips in clothing nor any stains.

The beard I believe is also more vintage/contemporary. It does have what looks like some "yellow glue" in it at spots (ex photo 21). Weighs 5 pounds 9 ounces (prior to packaging). Soup can not included in sale (LOL). We are not antique dealers, collectors or experts.

We describe the item along with any flaws and markings we can find the best we can.
