Identifying Reproduction Antique Santas

Other areas of reproduction you can find Santa's out there, this is another example, this is a reproduction also. It has the composition feet, it has a felt, blue felt pants, its got the, looks like faded-out clothing with what looks like homespun. The face is very dark, the hands are dark, and this little feather tree, this is a reproduction, it's very easy to pick out if you are a collector and you handle these at all. But, another thing to be aware of, people make these Santas that look very similar to the old, this one, to me, does not look very similar but to someone who hasn't collected they could be fooled by some of these country reproductions. So, some of the things to look out for, this is, there is a big difference in the price range and this is like a $15-$20 item and if you get into collecting one of these earlier, this is even a Japan earlier Santa, this will cost you around $50-$60, there's a difference in the price range, so keep that in mind when you're out looking at your collectibles and you want to make sure, if you're buying a reproduction, that you know that it is a reproduction.
