Note that Christmas Seals were created at the start of the twentieth century, when the tuberculosis epidemic began. The advent and widespread use of antibiotics helped beat the tuberculosis epidemic in the U.S., although it is still a major problem in developing countries. Christmas Seals are still sold today, but now the proceeds go fight lung cancer and asthma! Note that unlike Girl Scout cookies, Christmas Seals didn't really "buy" you anything you could use. You were given colorful stamps that had no value, and the idea was to add them to your letters next to the postage stamps, to encourage other people to buy them as well. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was folded across the middle and it had a couple of other partial horizontal folds and minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
