Vintage Christmas – King Santa Bank / Light

What makes this guy “King” in the land of the Santas? Not only is he a light, but he’s also a BANK… That’s right shove some coin into his back and he’ll hold it until you’re ready to smash him on the ground to get it out.

Just be careful, because of genius design, the bulb is in the same place the coins are- Chuck a half dollar in there and you could have a smashed bulb, resulting in removal from the throne..

Such is the way in the cut-throat world of Christmas…

He’s about 7″ tall… And made in the USA (which, by my calculation, dates him to sometime in the 1800′s)

It’s an instruction sheet from one of the old 60′s Aluminum Christmas Tree. Made by Evergleam.

Great vintage trees- Just make sure you use a “color wheel” (or similar) to light it. Regular string lights can = house on fire…
