These NOS tin coasters were given away by Coca-Cola bottlers during the holidays — featuring Sundblom's Santa, finger to his lips, as if whispering that he's already been to your house. Sundblom created Santa imagery for Coca-Cola from 1931 to 1964, and his version of St. Nick became the definitive American image of the character.
