Unusual Belsnickel  is wearing a brown felt coat covered with snow covered moss. He stands on a mound of snow. He has a dusty old rabbit fur beard and trim on his coat. He opens in the middle for a candy container. He carries a brown basket, also covered with moss, on his back. Great early face has a few crinkles. We are unsure if the green candy container tube has been replace as it looks very clean, is nice and snug. Outstanding, rare and early piece in excellent condition!

This cute guy used to sit in the window of a London merchant and attract customers  for the Christmas Season.  He is built somewhat like a candy container where he opens at the waist, but inside is a heavy duty motor which when plugged in makes Santa jiggle around and move his arms up and down a bit. His face is undoubtedly German and you can read some of the old newspaper used to seal the top of his head. His beard feels like real hair..but coarser, maybe from a goat. He wears felt coat and pants, his boots are seemed cardboard. The base and snow on his boots are covered with coraline bead balls which shine in the light. He has spring arms for dancing action and soft mitten hands. He would probably need a belt to hold the two halves together better.  The plug is for a European outlet but it can be used with an adapter to fit USA outlets. The motor itself is rated for dual use. There is a switch that you can flip for either 220 (European) or 110 (USA) use. Please contact us for further description and answers to your questions.
