The Santa figurine comes with a toy box filled with hand made toys that add to its charm and originality. The Toy Box doubles as a music box and plays "Toyland". It is part of the collection Christmas Past and is an original piece from 1994. This Santa is sure to bring joy and nostalgia to any collector or lover of Christmas, St. Nicholas, and Norma DeCamp.
Santa is dressed in a classic red velvet cloak adorned with clear beads and trimmed in brown fur. He holds a doll in his arm and has a wreath hanging from his belt. The toybox is decorated with Holly and Bells and is filled with wrapped and unwrapped gifts including musical instruments, teddy bear, toy soldier, rocking horse and more! The music box winds on the side of the toy box and aptly plays "Toyland"- works great!
