Made in Japan during the 1950s/1960s (and originally sold at five-and-dime stores like Woolworth's), this kitschy piece features vibrant red paint, gold glitter trim, and classic retro decals on both sides—including Santa Claus, a yellow train, and a small teddy bear.      Unlike pieces that use bulky hardware, this sleigh features its original, clever elastic cord mechanism. An internal, flexible rubber string runs through the die-cut wood pieces. This keeps the tongue-and-groove panels securely under tension when open, yet lets you easily pull and flatten the entire sleigh completely flat for compact storage. It is perfect for displaying vintage Christmas cards, holding holiday candy, or serving as a festive tabletop centerpiece.     Item Details Condition: Very good vintage condition. The original flexible rubber string is fully intact and still holds excellent tension, which is rare for these delicate items!
