Old World Christmas Santa Claus w/ Green Drum Blown Glass Ornament Merck Vintage

Delightful Merck Family's Old World Christmas blown glass ornament of Santa Claus holding a green drum. This retired, hard-to-find ornament is vintage, I believe from around the year 2000. It has the star-shaped OWC tag. The ornament is about 5" long including the cap and 2 1/4" wide at the base. The ornament is embellished with glitter. This ornament is in very good pre-owned condition. There's a tiny paint scratch on the side of Santa's hood and a few scratches on the underside (see last two photos). This would make for a lovely Christmas gift. Please note this doesn't include the original box or a hook. The ornament stand is not included. This will be packed with care and shipped promptly.
