Featured Woolworth Santa Clause Windows Display Looking to find a value

Looking to find a value for this polyresin 62" Vintage Santa Clause.

Was said to be a Woolworth window display 1950's to 1970's?

 

NO clue, but he's SO COOL!!!!!!!

 

Yes cool vintage look.. but also borderline intimidating. I think he’ll make some children cry.

 

Ha ha,I tested..Our 3 year old says the face is a little scary (but he is holding gifts so all good ) Anyway the size and look is impressive (must be heavy) Don’t know anything about value but I’am sure is worth quite a bit of money (niche market and all)

 

I'm sure if you can find others that have sold then you'd have a good fair market value.....
otherwise....... $50.....to $5000.....name your price !

 

Santa is really impressive. I just love your decorated pencil pine next to him, very pretty! Do you intend to sell him? If so, it would probably be local / buyer picks up (I assume due to weight). But I could easily see someone driving a few hours to pick up this Santa! I think poster above (komo) nailed it, you can likely name your price and then negotiate from there. Where did you find him?

 

It wasn't too hard to find this listing on ebay. Looks like it closed with no buyers.

The photos on this listing are not as compelling as yours. Your photos show how the big Santa can be displayed at Christmas in the home. Very inviting. While other seller just shows it on the driveway. Oh! unless you bought that one and just need a value?

 

It's anyones word that it was once a Woolworth's display. Where's the provenance?

I love Santa Claus....and have collected a few.

Please don't take offense, and it's all in the eyes of the beholder, but he is one UGLY Santa. He'd never make it to my house.

With provenance (paper work) I would buy to re-sell, and hope someone would take it off my hands.

Pretty blunt......my apologies, but he doesn't resemble good old jolly Nick. (in my eyes)

 

I agree with Ola on your darling tree. New term for me....pencil pine. Love it!

 

I agree. Not the most friendliest looking Santa around.

 

Quite agree, re "Where's the Provenance". If you can search on line for a Woolworths photo showing that same kind of Santa, that could be a big help in selling it as being in a Woolworths.

 

Being made of resin, I doubt this a Woolworth's display. Are there any Woolworth's left? See this as being later than the proposed dates. Doubt any earlier than the 80s and maybe decades newer.

 

It has the appearance of a recent Made in China item. Certainly not vintage.

A vintage Woolworth Christmas window.

I agree. I had that thought, too, but was waiting for OP to explain provenance.

 

Haha! I drove 3 hours to buy it! Yes that was the one I purchased!!

 

Your getting coal in your stocking!!!

 

This is the only similar Santa I have found.

LOL!.........

When I was growing up, we had a coal fired furnace...........coal was a good thing.......then!!!!!

 

If being charitable, I would say this of the eBay seller: All his geese are swans.

He's asking $150 for what appears to be a unframed quick watercolor copy of Ingres' Grande Odalisque by a local artist.
