Brand: Simon & Halbig "1249" "SANTA" Simon & Halbig "Santa" ゜ .゜・*.。✧♡.*・゜ .゜・* The name "Santa" by Simon & Halbig comes from the fact that the workshop officially gave the name "SANTA" to the doll of mold 1249, which was manufactured around 1898. It is a very popular model among collectors. Regarding the origin of the name "Santa," one theory is that it comes from the distinctive lip paint: the doll's lower lip has a diamond or V-shaped accent color (dark orange or red), and this feature is said to be the origin of the name Santa. Her lower lip also has that orange accent color. Rare factory naming: It is said that giving the doll the name "SANTA" was a very unusual attempt by the factory. The beautiful expression and high craftsmanship, which are loved by collectors, seem to have been factors in giving it a special name.
