18 Years Old
Our Old World Santa line of carved folk art collectibles (left) is 18 years old
this year. The first 5 Santas in the Great American Old World Santa line came
out in 1988 and since then there have been 107 characters released. (For more
history regarding our company, please read "Our Story".)
100% Made in the USA
As a Great American collector, you
can be proud that your figurines are one of the last remaining line of folk art
resin collectibles 100% made in the USA. This is because we're the ONLY resin
collectible figurine manufacturer of our size that still makes everything in the
USA.
Our collectors place more value on the experience of collecting a
traditional American piece of artwork than being able to get the collectible
for $9.95 at Walmart. Most companies move manufacturing overseas because they are maximizing
company profits. We have to make money, obviously, but we'd rather make less if
it means keeping our operations in the USA.
How We Do It
We mold each character from an original wood carving (using silicone) then
cast each collectible from high quality American resin. The end result gives
your collectible a traditional wood appearance. Then each is painted by hand in
the homes of one of our 200+ painters right here in the USA.
Collecting Experience
We feel there should be more to collecting than just buying something cute.
Moreover, a company should do more than just create a character people can love.
It also extends to the packaging and so many other little details. For example,
each Old World Santa comes in a sturdy gift box, suitable for off season
storage. On the gift box is a full color label
picturing the character inside.
It also displays the character's story for easy access. In addition, each Old
World Santa comes with a full color story card which can be displayed alongside
your santa so your visitors can familiarize themselves with him/her.
Create a Lasting Tradition
Last but not least, as an owner of a Great American Old World Santa, you can
send for a free, full color Certificate of Ownership and Authenticity. This
gives you a lasting reminder of your purchase and can be passed down to your
children and grandchildren, creating a collecting legacy for future family
generations and giving your ancestors something to remember you by and hearken
back to.
So click on one of the links in the upper left area of the page and browse
the magic that we're proud to be a part of.
