First up is the nominal guy for the site and one of the first things I received from my own Tag Sale Santa. A vintage light up blow mold Santa figure. The first blow molding machine was created and sold in 1938. These kind of decorations reached their peak popularity as pop art icons in the 50's and 60's. Their popularity has wained these days but I do love cheerfulness and optimism represented in the art style and am very happy to have this little guy on display for the season. I suspect this will be the first of many.
