Lot 20 H2501 — Christmas 1995 9-30-95

This hand painted cover has a block of all four of the 1995 Christmas stamps. A first day of issue slogan postmark from North Pole, New York ties the block to the PIP/elf-1)e. Th, hand painted cachet shows Santa in his workshop, and the holiday detail is extensive. Santa, hammer in hand, takes a break surrounded by finished toys. A holly sprig appears at the top of the envelope. I think this is the first time I've had this cover in one of my sales. It is a very nice Christmas first day cover of Santa's workshop.
