Description: This guy is special. I just got him at an auction from a house that had tons of Christmas collectibles. He is in fantastic condition. NO marks, NO weird smells. He was nicely taken care of. The original tags have been removed. but his Steiff tag and button are intact. If you watch video, you will hear the bell that is inside his sack. This Santa is from the Buzzel style. Please read the cut/paste below from Steiff website: In the 1970s, due to pressure from other toy manufacturers, Steiff began economizing on their design and production to control costs and stay competitive. They produced a series of unjointed, inexpensive, and cone-shaped plush dolls and animals in the “Buzzel” style. One noteworthy example of Steiff’s 1970-era Buzzel production is the company’s 20 cm. standing Buzzel Santa Claus collectible doll. He is made from red and white dralon material and felt, with a long, white dralon beard. His face is precious and simple; he has small blue felt eyes, a round peach colored felt nose, and a tiny red circle for his lips. Santa is wearing his traditional Santa suit which is integral to his body. This vintage Santa Claus doll carries a brown Santa sack, which has a little bell in it. This particular doll was produced in this size only from 1972 to 1974. These dolls were designed for fun, play, and love so, it is really rare to find one in collectible condition nearly half a century after manufacturing.
