Collecting Antique Plastic Santas

Video Transcript

"So I got some examples today here for you of plastic composition santas. This is an Erwin he's really nice, he's got some detail to him; he's got his sack behind him with his two little dolls in the back. He has quite a bit detail to him and there's a stamp right there I'm not sure that you can see but he's stamped right there. And on the other side you can see there's a lot of detail on his beard, he's got a basket of fruit in his hands and a gift and these are pretty common you can find these in a lot of places. They're fairly inexpensive to buy so this is just an example of an Erwin that would cost you somewhere in the $45-$50 range. A few other plastics that I want to show you here these collectibles here this is a santa candy container painted white face and hands, the sack is opened on the back where they put the candy. This santa will probably cost you around $15-$25, here's another santa on ski's in plastic not a lot of detail but open back to put your candy in them. These tend to lose their ski's on them so this one around $35-$45 depending on the condition. Here's some very small little ornaments to hang on the trees, this one is in green, they come in a number of different colors; red is obviously the most popular. But green is a little bit harder to find these range in around $15 range and here's another example where it's actually missing the top, but nice example of a santa. It should be a hanging ornament because it's missing the top not worth all that, this one to same as the green in the $15 range, they vary anywhere from, you'll find them in shops anywhere from $5-$25. When I'm quoting prices I'm quoting my prices that doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to find those out there at that price. So check your reference books and also just your area dealers that you buy from, you're going to find a wide range on these anywhere from $5-$25, so those are few examples of a plastic ornaments that I have and some of the price ranges."
