1980 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament
QX15H
This 1980 Hallmark Christmas ornament was released by their subsidiary, Ambassador, as part of The Holiday House Collection, and is a rare find for collectors of this box/brand. Ambassador was a division of Hallmark Cards, Inc. from 1979-1982, and approximately 50 different ornaments were sold in select stores, such as Ben Franklin, Woolworth's, card shops, drug stores and supermarkets. Today, they stand as rare treasures, with their elegant designs and limited availability adding to their collectible allure. The ornament is a white satin ball with transparent, plastic sleeve printed with red poinsettias, holly, and two sentiments: "The beauty of Christmas is love" on the front, and "The spirit of Christmas is joy," on the back. The copyright is also dated and printed in between the panels on the sleeve. The ornament is packaged in the original, cream-colored "window" box, viewable from all sides, so you can see the entire bulb.
