Rare 34 Antique German Nodding Seated Santa Claus Clockwork Store Display 1890

  
Rare 34 Antique German Nodding Seated Santa Claus Clockwork Store Display 1890. This is a very rare HUGE 34 German one of a kind Clockwork nodding Santa store window display.

From the early Indianapolis downtown department store L. It has all original clockwork and internal wood and paper mache construction, and has been professionally re-clothed and restored, still retaining its original faded felt hat and some clothing underneath.

During the restoration it was discovered that the original paper mache torso is covered with early German newspapers from Sonnenburg, Germany. The face is all original, untouched hand painted, and the clockwork is all original - I have never wound it, but the mechanism was clicking very quickly when I removed the head. May need to be oiled and cleaned by a professional.

Comes with key and lots of vintage toy accessories - bisque dolls, China head doll, putti animals, cast iron fire pumper engine toy, large wool dog with basket, 2 early wicker baskets, candy containers, 2 feather trees (one in hand is original to the display and is full of antique German ornaments), wicker doll house love seat, miniature Steiff bears, toy goat cart, Dresden ornaments, miniature metal doll carriages, miniature antique American flag, wooden doll rolling pin, Hummel Goebel Jesus in Manger figure, miniature butter churn, toy soldiers, and other miniatures. I could only include 12 photos, so please ask if you need more photos. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Holiday & Seasonal\Figurines".
