Santa Claus Label, 1868
Santa Claus Label, 1868
A label featuring Santa Claus for Sugar Plums by the U.S. Confection Company, New York, in 1868.

The label was entered into the Clerk's Office in the district of Southern New York. It's an interesting use of Santa for advertising in the mid 1800's. The image is familiar but has changed somewhat since then!

Date & Place: at U.S. Confection Company in New York, New York USA

150 yrs ago: ad graphics could be today's Christmas decorations!
The graphics on these old labels are great!
Macy's Santa Claus, 1942
Macy's Santa Claus, 1942
Santa Claus at Macy's New York in 1942. He is skinnier here than we know him now - but this photo reminds me of Miracle on 34th Street. It's my favorite Christmas movie and was made only 5 years after this photo was taken, so the movie was probably pretty representative of the times.

Just like today, the kids got a piece of candy and told Santa what they wanted.
