Authentic reproductions of America's oldest figurine of a Santa. The original Blue Santa was found in Akron, Ohio's Lock 3 Park, formerly the site of American Marble & Toy Manufacturing Company (site of the world's first mass-produced toys 1884-1904.) These reproductions are made in the same method used in the early 1890s to make the original Blue Santa. Glazed ceramic 2 1/2" tall, the Blue Santa was a 'Wishing Santa'. Hold him in your hand and make a wish for Christmas. Made by the Akron Toy & Marble Company exclusively for The American Toy Marble Museum at Lock 3 Park in Akron, Ohio. The Blue Santa comes in his own 'Santa Sack', a draw-string marbles bag (he was made at a marble factory,) with a handsome card showing a photo of the original and telling the whole history of the Blue Santa.
The original Blue Santa hasn't left the site of his birthplace. He is on display with other important historical artifacts discovered at Lock 3 Park, where he was made by The American Marble & Toy Manufacturing Company in the early 1890s. |
