Description

Vintage Carved Wood Santa Claus Thimble
American * Mid-Late 1900s
This little thimble is carved of a dense and closely grained piece of wood. It's in the form of a comical Santa and is beautifully carved and hand painted.
The condition is excellent with no cracks or chips and almost no loss of paint. It is about an American size 7/8 (14.7 mm diameter opening). It hard to determine the age, but I'm guessing the mid-late 20th century. It was bought in the US.
I stand behind everything that I offer and
