Bronze; mounted on a marble base; 28.5 in. x 19 in. x 18 in.

This lovely, original, hand-painted Wanlass bronze depicts jolly St. Nick making his annual Christmas journey in a Brass Era touring car and motoring around the world while contemplating his list of “good boys and girls,” which is actually a list of prominent auto collectors! Dozens of highly detailed toys and gifts are featured in Santa’s New Toy, and the spirit of giving is so apparent that it captivated President and Mrs. Reagan, who displayed it in the White House during their administration. A total of 88 examples of this limited-edition bronze were produced.
