1930s Celluloid Clockwork Santa Claus. Head Moves With Counter Balance. Japan For Sale

---

Early 1930s Celluloid Santa with Clockwork Balance.

Head moves from left to right, on lead counter balance in back.

Earlier celluloid toy from Japan.

Blue tin bottom, with tin tube in a celluloid body of Santa Claus is molded.

Then the head has a rubber band which fits inside tube, and head fits on top tin balance.

Then a long leaded weighted counter balance so it moves back and forth.

The head is celluloid also.

The rubber band is intact after all these years (but is petrified) so he moves.. not as he did in earlier years.

I never changed band inside as I just wanted to leave it as it is.

Original from the day it was manufactured.

Head is wonderful, as it is such a gentle face, with great smile and details.

He is carrying a green bag over his shoulders.

The lantern is a wonderful touch as well.

Black boots at the bottom.

7.00"
