Vintage Ferdinand Strauss Santee Claus Tin Windup Toy with Box. ### ANOTHER FANTASTIC TOY FROM THE “PA TOYS FROM TIMES PAST” collection ### Ferdinand Strauss Santee Claus Sleigh with two prancing reindeer. Two bells are attached to each of the reindeer’s mouths are original to the toy and jingle as they move back and forth. Lithography is quite bright and shiny as many have had sun damage and look dull and drably. The Santa is original as some are usually missing and have been replaced with a reproduction. And again with most you will see the sleigh usually has rust on the bottom edge. This one is absolutely clean. This toy has been gone over by a professional tin toy doctor and is certified to be in 100% working condition. Guaranteed! The reins have been replaced as the originals have since rotted away. You don’t see many of these for sale and with Christmas just weeks away would make a great conversation piece as it would be just as a display. Especially with this top quality reproduction box which you won’t find with any other toys listed here. Any questions just ask. Thanks We ship with extreme care!
