1950s Rare Vintage Christmas Candy Container Red Vinyl Boot "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year"
1950s Vintage Christmas Candy Container Red Vinyl Boot "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year"
Classic holiday greetings, "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" run across the red vinyl boot.
The bottom half is ivory colored felt cardboard with a cardboard sole. The trim is "Candy Cane" red & white stripes, and there's a bell. It was silver but is rusted. The ivory is now a dirty coloured ivory and there is a dark spot on one side of the boot. Please see photos. The red vinyl has some fade and a few pockmarks.
Measures:
- 5 1/2 inches tall x 5 "inches wide.
- This Christmas boot has seen better days, haven't we all? It still looks fabulous decorated with a sprig of holly.
- These boots were filled with candies and set or hung on the mantlepiece. Once emptied they became a Christmas decoration.
- These are rare to find. I suppose once the candy was gone, these little boots were thrown away.
This boot is in fair to good pre owned condition.
As always, as is.
