Large 1930 Edison Santa Claus Christmas Light Bulb Working

Description: This standard size or Edison base 40 watt large Christmas figural light bulb was made in Japan in the 1920s to early 1930s. Made of clear painted glass, it's 8-1/2 inches tall and depicts a hooded Santa or Father Christmas figure in long coat holding a feather pine tree. Toys and dolls are embossed at the lower front of his coat. The paint has some flaking at the lower right front side. The back has considerable paint loss to the entire center back area. The bulb fits a standard light socket and works fine, lighting up brightly as shown in the second picture. The metal threads are marked "HK 120V 40W Tungsten Japan". Book price according to Johnson's Pictorial Guide to Christmas for a smaller 7-1/4 inch version is $125 to $175. See my other listings for hundreds of antique and vintage Christmas items. I'm happy to combine shipping. I charge only 25 cents US handling for packing materials: new peanuts, bubble wrap, etc. and I refund all shipping overpayments on multiple item purchases. It's heartbreaking to hear that awful tinkling when your package arrives and you find nothing but shards inside. Rest assured that after years of buying, selling, and collecting vintage ornaments, I know how to pack them safely. Your purchases will be carefully packed with no skimping on materials to survive just about any drop, kick or fall the postal service can dish out. Almost all my items are antique or vintage and come from a variety of sources. I cannot guarantee that any item is from a smoke-free or pet-free home. International customers are always welcome. Buyer is responsible for any customs fees or taxes your country may impose.
