A classic piece of mid-century Christmas kitsch built around the beloved Mother Goose rhyme, finished with gold paper trim at his collar, wrists, and ankles. He originally perched on a small cardboard brick wall, since lost to time.

A nostalgic, conversation-starting addition to a tree, wreath, or gift package — and a fun find for any nursery rhyme or kitsch collector.

Mother Goose and nursery rhyme figures were a popular theme in mid-century Japanese Christmas exports, giving familiar childhood characters a place on the American tree. Figures like this one were typically flocked and hand-finished, with small cardboard or paper props — like Humpty's original wall — that rarely survive the decades intact.
