    Description

    My mom bought these in the 1940s - 50s at Meier & Frank Department Store in Downtown Portland, Ore. They're in the original box & have a .00 Meier & Frank sticker price on the bottom. Mom always hit the after Christmas sale there & I'm sure she paid less. There are 17 unused envelopes & 16 unused Christmas themed cards. The cards are 4 7/8" square and adorable. There are 2 each of 7 different drawings and 1 each of two more. On the back of each card there's another small darling picture, Letter-ettes, A Gibson Card, Gibson Cinti., U.S.A.  Please see my photos.
    There are 2 each of:
    2 blonde angels & a cute kitty sitting on a cloud & sipping sodas with a spilled soda & kitty licking it up on the back
    Blonde angel with 3 lambs & a lamb on the back
    Praying angel and Baby Jesus (I assume) surrounded by blubirds with a sleeping baby with halo on the back
    2 angels tending a fireplace (green striped wallpaper card) & the kitty with the brown haired angel holding the kitty on the back
    2 angels in their donkey cart getting their Christmas tree with an angel holding holly on the back
    5 angels dancing & playing music with the kitty chasing a garland and on the back the kitty has caught that garland
    An angel with a lamb in a wheelbarrow  with Bethlehem in the background and the angel holding the lamb on the back
    The SINGLE Cards are:
    a blonde & a brunette angel loading potted poinsettias into a cart with the brunette holding a pot on the back
    Three angels at the rural mailbox getting their mail with the kitty helping and an angel reading a card on the back.
    There were originally 20 cards, so my Mom used 4 of them. The cards are all perfect; the envelopes have darkened a little but are otherwise perfect. The box - both pieces - is also perfect. No split sides, no stains or marks & no funky odors.
