Large Vintage Christmas Elf Herpolsheimer's Department Store Display

Description

Comical and charming 1950's Christmas elf.  I purchased him from a Grand Rapids Michigan Store Owner's Estate.  Per the estate, this is part of an original Christmas display from Herpolsheimer's Department Store in Grand Rapids, MI.  This department store is referenced in the Christmas movie "Polar Express".
He measures 20" in height from his feet to the tip of his hair.
There is crazing on his head, and appears to be missing his original headband.  His ping pong ball nose has been glued on, and I don't think it is original.  Please look closely at pictures of his head and face.  He is not perfect and is sold as-is.
Sparkling tights, pot-belly, mischievous face!  He's a real charmer.
Awesome, rare Vintage Christmas item.
