Description

View RARE Antique Christmas Cast Iron Santa in Sleigh & 8 Reindeer All With Wheels with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. There is rust dust on the reindeer and paint wear as you would expect. Each set is held to the next with a nut and bolt, there was a set missing but my husband replaced it with a new set which is pictured. WOW! I have had this for about 20 years and I bought it from a collector who personally drove it to the Antiques Roadshow to have it appraised. It's from somewhere between 1900 & 1920 and is a complete set. There is rust dust on the reindeer and paint wear as you would expect. This set is very heavy but it does come apart at each set of 2 reindeer. Each set is held to the next with a nut and bolt, there was a set missing but my husband replaced it with a new set which is pictured. I would assume that this had string reins but they are long gone, an easy fix with chain, ribbon or string. The only other issue is that each deer has a piece of wire that attaches to the wheel, some are missing but unless you're using it as a pull toy, it isn't a huge deal, again, an easy fix. Considering the rarity of finding this as a complete set, the minor issues aren't too big of a problem. I did try to photograph any areas where a question might arise but certainly feel free to ask any questions. Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Holiday & Seasonal › Figurines.
