I can't believe you found three Rushton Santa's all at once - that is amazing. I wanted to mention, since you didn't you might not know, that they were a promotion for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company in the 1950's. The red Santa's were for Coke and the green Santa was for 7UP. Great finds!Sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913201824588109760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237432470133488199.post-40028303590566042832014-01-10T20:58:18.647-08:002014-01-10T20:58:18.647-08:00I'm catching up on blogs and just made it to t...I'm catching up on blogs and just made it to this post. I Love all these Santa's and what a lucky find you had to find them all at once! You may know this, but since you didn't mention it, I thought I would tell you - the red Santa's were a 1950's promotion with Coca Cola and would have once had a miniature Coke bottle in their hand. The green one is a promotion with Coke, but for 7UP. Great finds!Sharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913201824588109760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237432470133488199.post-66885212523610582392013-12-13T10:26:07.826-08:002013-12-13T10:26:07.826-08:00Wow third time lucky and you stroke luck getting t...Wow third time lucky and you stroke luck getting three. I love them all and I know I definitely wouldn't be able to get rid of one.

They are charming.<br />The expression on their faces suggest they are thinking; "I'm checking my list... watching to see who's naughty, or nice". <br />I too like the green dressed Santa. It's not that often you see a Santa suit that color.<br /><br />Best of luck getting your projects done.<br /><br />Smiles :)<br />K.Kerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416650902627197826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237432470133488199.post-50491005828633782932013-12-11T10:14:11.352-08:002013-12-11T10:14:11.352-08:00Oh, I think they're VERY cute!

Last year I passed on two larger Santa's that were only $35 each, and now I'm just drooling over your three. You lucked out girlfriend, they're amazing. I try to buy at least one Santa each year to add to my growing collection of vintage and weird Santa's, but $60 is too high for my blood. Someone is going to get him and be very lucky. Thanks for sharing the piccy's!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MeriImagiMerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604146258780421306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237432470133488199.post-77073915789705823892013-12-11T06:02:32.372-08:002013-12-11T06:02:32.372-08:00They each have such personality.
