The Twelve Days of Santa - Day 5

This ginormous Styrofoam Santa head wall hanging measures 18 inches tall by 12 inches wide.  The gold beard is an odd touch.



***Update.  Based on this Santa's incidental inclusion in this picture from the Rankin/Bass Historian, the gold beard is no manufacturer's fluke nor owner customization.

***Update #2. Additional confirmation in this random picture from 1970.

    1. Or an over zealous owner with a dream of a New World Santa and a can of spray paint.
