Contemporary Christmas Stamp 1980 Wreath and Toys on Window

The Contemporary Christmas Stamp 1980 “Wreath and Toys on Window” by artist Bob Timberlake we are looking at today.

First, my thanks to Nancy for sharing with me this month’s Our State magazine includes the stamp within their article: Season’s Greetings: North Carolina Holiday Cards of Past & Present. 

Our State magazine December 2019 issue includes “Season’s Greetings: North Carolina Holiday Cards of Past & Present”

It is in the section “Postmark NC LEXINGTON” and includes the following:

“In 1980, Bob Timberlake — whose scenes of life in the South are so deeply familiar to North Carolinians — got to share his memories of Christmas past with a much wider audience. Timberlake was about a decade into his career as an artist when the U.S. Postal Service asked him to design a Christmas stamp, and he was thrilled…”

You’ll want to be sure to read the entire article – available online, and if you get a chance, pick up a copy – the issue is worth saving!

Over at Mystic Stamp the Scott USA-1843 stamp from 1980 shows the 15c Contemporary Christmas: Wreath and Toys on Window.

“This Christmas issue depicts a warm family home on Christmas morning. It serves as a reminder of the importance of family during the holiday season.”

In closing, it was back in October, we were looking at the new USPS Holiday Wreaths 2019. With today’s post on the Contemporary Christmas Stamp 1980 Wreath and Toys on Window, it puts bookends on the season.

See you tomorrow for my Christmas Eve blog post. Until then, wishing safe travels for everyone.

Anchors Aweigh,
