1980 Hallmark Keepsake Ornament
RARE1980
QX2H 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 features Santa, in his full dress suit, with metallic-gold belt buckle and green mittens. He's got his eyes closed and lips pursed, holding in a belly laugh with his hands on his belt, and blushing 'til his nose turns red! The copyright is dated and embossed on the top of his back. The ornament is packaged in the original window box, with plastic sheet and green flocked velvet plastic tray, for protection.
