Would you share your thoughts? Measures 27 x 19" and has a grim cityscape in blizzard, Santa and this bell collapased at the foot of a street light in front of the Uncle Ren Loans store front. A banner across the top shows 15 childrens all dressed in festive winter garb, a la Rockwell, standing in line to give Santa their holiday requests- excellent work!
