Description:
Since the 1930s, Coca-Cola and Christmas have been synonymous for their magical depiction of Santa Claus in their advertising that were and continue to be popular around the world. Haddon Sunblom’s vision of Santa Claus became the iconic image for Coca-Cola first imagined in 1931 and he continued to produce various versions of his famous Santa in ads until 1964. Coca-Cola continues to use Sundblom’s nostalgic take to this day and has become an international treasure and largely the image that everyone pictures when thinking about Santa Claus. It is incredibly “suiting” for a Hornby Christmas Train Set to depict these classic images of the Coca-Cola logo featuring the white wave as well as Haddon Sundblom’s Santa Claus, the one that he used himself as a model, and the reason that Santa Claus’s belt appears to be backwards, since he was painting himself in a mirror image. Frank Hornby introduced his first toy train in 1920 laying the rail to the company Hornby has become today. Known as Britain’s leading model railway manufacturers for almost 100 years, Frank Hornby had a vision, just as Haddon Sunblom, that is now a treasured toy that has become synonymous with the Holiday Season and wouldn’t be the same without a train set running around the Christmas Tree.
