Vintage Sitting Cloth Elf
**2 1/4 inches from front to back, 1 inch wide, 4 inches tall from bottom to hat tip (with knees folded, hat unfolded)**
**Elf is sitting with hands and arms looped under pulled-up knees**
**Dressed in green felt suit and hat with gold trim, white felt shoes, and white pompom**
**Wear, slight fading**
**Has gold loop in hat so it can be hung on the Christmas tree or anywhere else to watch the children for Santa, small enough to hide easily**
**No identifying labels or tags, however perfectly matches others like it with a black-and-gold foil label that reads "Napco,Bedford, Ohio, Made in Japan"**
**This is the same type of elf from the story Elf on a Shelf, but unlike a newly produced elf, this one's wear shows he has put in many decades of watching children for Santa. Alone or teaching a new elf the ropes, this elf is a must have for the next holiday season!**
**If you are not familiar with Elf on a Shelf, it is a story about a little elf that watches the children and reports back to Santa. The rule is that no one is allowed to touch the elf or he disappears and returns to Santa with a bad report. After the children go to bed, the elf (with some parental help, of course!) finds a new place to hide. Makes for a delightful distraction during the holiday season as children look for the elf each day! Ours appears right after Thanksgiving, but the kids always start looking for him right after Halloween!**
