1957 Santa and sleigh repair and replicas

[Ken O]

One of my coworkers asked me to repair the antlers on his Santa and sleigh. It was originally purchased by his parents in 1957. Then he asked if I could make some replicas since his sisters and brother wanted one. 2 with 6 reindeer like the original and 1 with 8 reindeer. They turned out pretty good. I only got pictures after they were finished. They are going to paint them so I didn't have to worry about that. I asked for $75 each and he gave me $100 each so I'm pretty happy.

Very nice.  You did a great job cutting and they did a great job painting them.  A win win

[Ken O]

Thanks, The pictures are out of order. The one that is painted is the original. Other than the broken antlers i had to fix it still looks good.

Fine work, Ken,

Around here, I couldn't have gotten $75 even if I had done all the painting and finishing!

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Way to go, sounds like you made someone's Christmas for them and got some goodies in return that's always nice.  Looks like you did you good job on the duplication effort. Congrads.

Thanks everyone! We bought my wife a new wedding band a few months ago, so with that money she can have it in time for x-mas. You know what they say about a happy wife. I'll get better copies and put them out here for grabs if anyone wants to do one. I already have an order for another one. I'll have to make assembly drawings and instructions.
