Sale - Christmas Holiday Bells Pin

ENLARGE

The design of the Museum’s pin is based on a charming illustration on an original 20th-century Christmas card in the Museum’s collection. The first Christmas card was privately printed in London in 1843. In subsequent decades, the commercial production of Christmas cards became widespread in Europe and America as their exchange grew in popularity and printing companies provided customers with a variety from which to choose. The card on which the design of our pin is based now belongs to the Museum’s Burdick Collection, which represents the lifework of Jefferson R. Burdick (1900–1963), a devoted collector and cataloguer of trade cards, holiday cards, and other paper collectibles.

24K gold overlay, with hand-applied enamel and a silver overlay bell clapper. Length 1 5/8 in., width 2 1/4 in.
