Frosty Friends
1983 Brass Santa
1983 Hallmark Frosty Friends Ornament
QX4239
This 1983 Hallmark Keepsake Christmas Ornament is made of polished brass and is assembled like a pressed tin piece. It features Santa's head, with a real jingle bell on the end of his stocking cap, and a holly cluster tucked into the fur trim for decoration. He's looking especially "elvish" in this depiction, with his ears sticking out and his full beard taking up most of the ornament! It's packaged in the original box with a full color sleeve and the dated copyright is on the back at the bottom. The instructions on the back of the sleeve indicate that the ornament has been coated with lacquer to prevent tarnishing and that you should clean it with a soft, moist cloth.
Ed Seale is from Ontario, Canada, and worked for Hallmark from 1968-1999. He's best known for being one of the founding artists in the Frosty Friends series, the longest-running Hallmark Keepsake series. "The warmth of fun and friendship in an icy, cold place. We lived on a farm in Canada — and the pond was the biggest source of entertainment."
