Made in Japan 1960s Plastic Face Standing Santa Claus Decoration

Dating to the 1960s may I offer this adorable Made in Japan figure of Santa Claus. Santa has a hard plastic face (helping me to date the piece) wears felt like clothing with edging of chenille. He carries a lacquer candle as well as a sprig of green all while standing on a white mica glitter base.  Size is 6-3/4" high.  Condition is pretty darn nice - definite patina of age which adds to the charm. The bottom of the base shows how Santa is attached (with lengthy wires).
