I spend November and December building, painting and printing Christmas items as Santa Claus. Much of the work is completed in my shop window where I work in Character. The items made during this season become special heirloom items.

This toy is an authentic copy of an American wooden pull toy produced in the 1920s. It has been meticulously constructed as would have been in the 1920s with wood wheels and slot head screws. Bodies and bases are fashioned with New England sources white pine. Wheels are hardwood. Each piece is hand painted with non-toxic milk paint, shellac and waxes. With care these toys are safe (see below) and should last several lifetimes.

Constructed of New England Sourced White Pine, Period appropriate Hardware and New Old Stock Upholstery Tack Eyes, Turned Hardwood Handles, Real Leather Reins and Real Horse Hair Mane. Approx. 43”l x 8 1/2’”t x 7’”w.

Each toy is hand signed by Santa Claus and labelled with a Santa Made label letterpress label hand printed on Santa's antique printing presses.

This toy is sold as an heirloom collectors' item It is meant to be cherished and displayed and collected. It's also meant to be played with with the understanding that this is an authentic period toy. While every effort is made to make these toys safe, authentic toys inherently fail to meet modern safety standards. Leashes and loose details are strangulation and choking hazards. These toys are meant to be used under direct adult supervision.
