Blow mold plastic figures became popular in the mid-20th century, particularly for holiday decorations. These items were manufactured by heating plastic and blowing it into a mold, creating hollow, lightweight, and durable figures. They were widely produced for Christmas, Halloween, and Easter, becoming a staple in many households during the 1950s through the 1970s. Many companies produced these, often with distinctive molds and color schemes. This particular Santa Claus figure, likely from the 1960s, represents a common style of holiday decor from that era. The cheerful, stylized design and the inclusion of a candy cane are typical features. While not fine art, these vintage blow mold figures are sought after by collectors for their nostalgic appeal and as representations of mid-century holiday traditions.
