Vintage Santa Rushton Doll

Spied this guy in the free softie box at a local op shop yesterday (note to self start checking in the softie boxes 😂) from what I know he is a Rushton  soft toy from the 50s or 60s.  I have been wanting one of these for a long time and thought I would have to buy one from overseas, so excited! He is huge! hopefully I may come across a few more before Christmas comes around again, fingers crossed!
