V1901

Christmas Santa

Santa with Reindeer

Rooftop Cachet

Collins Cover Announcement 

CHRISTMAS 1991

Eight reindeer take flight from a snowy rooftop pulling Santa's sled laden with the familiar sack of toys and presents. A full moon illuminates the wintry night, and Santa Claus holds the reins and urges his team on to their next stop.

This hand-painted cachet is just super. Brick chimneys sprout from the clustered rooftops. Icicles hang from the eves proving that Jack Frost has done his work. A church steeple reaches into the Christmas night sky. But most of all, this "entire" cachet is dominated by the bearded Santa, his festive sleigh, and the eight reindeer embarking from yet another rooftop. It's the stuff that dreams are made of.

The Christmas stamp which shows Santa flying through a star filled sky is tied to the cover with a Santa, Idaho First Day postmark. This cover is a classic and will become a "must have" item for all Christmas and COLLINS collectors. Item #V1901. $10.50.
