1983 First Christmas Together - Hallmark bulb.
- Hallmark ornaments started in 1973 with only 18 items.
- Hallmark creates new ornaments every year. So, older ones are becoming increasingly harder to find.
- I collected Hallmark ornaments for decades, some were bought new at a Hallmark store, others in on-line auctions. Personally, I have never put these on my tree in at least the past 10 years, if ever! They've been in a storage bin.
- Please know they have increased in value over the years. Assuming these doubled in price over the last several years or even decades, you are still getting a huge deal. My prices are based on 2006 values.
- All my ornaments are listed as "used"; however, some have never been out of the box or inventoried.
- No overseas or Canadian addresses.
- Some ornaments may be glass, steel, ceramic or have a component on them.
- If you see duplicate ornaments in these listings…..use them for 2 sides of your tree, or if you have two tree’s keep one and give one away.
- Some boxes may have someone’s name on it or a sticker, small tears etc from previous use.
- Shopping Tip: Don’t get stuck on what the item says “ie: Grandson”. Consider the artwork & subject matter. Does the person like dogs? Get ‘dog’ related ornaments. Does the person live in a forest? Get “forest” animal ornaments. Did you like this ornament as a kid? Are you a car buff? Etc.
- Growing in popularity: Mary’s Angels, Pully Love & Mischievous kittens.
- Some ornaments can be used year-round. Ie: Restaurant. Toy Shop. Etc.
- Ebay fees are not built into my pricing.
- Item(s) are/is sold as-is and are not returnable. Please ask questions.
