This doll was supposed to be the first in a collection of Santas and I have never seen another one of these or a second edition. This has an authenticity certificate and is #28 of 500. S. Nicholas is dressed in "Red Tails suit with Top hat and cane" Also is wearing spats. Has tag attached showing the number and make.
This was purchased from "The Toy Shoppe" in Richmond Virginia via the internet. I used to get notifications from them but has been a long time. I do not remember how old he is but is in pristine condition. I estimate he was purchased somewhere around 1986 or 87.
