Item Description
Each 1.25", the first with blank back paper and the next two missing back papers. The first has great color showing Santa piloting his primitive bi-wing plane over city rooftops. Rarely seen imprint reads "See Santa Claus At Chas. Moore & Co's New Adelaide." Curl text reads "Rae, Munn & Gilbert, Melbourne, Made In U.S.A." indicating use in Australia. This was a design used by W&H although their name does not appear on the item. c. 1915. Exc. Second shows Santa in gondola below airship with text "Santa Claus Pike/At Brock's." Reverse collet has slight denting and a little age tone on the back but the front still remains extremely clean. VF. Last shows Santa on rooftop by chimney holding a rope leading to his bi-plane floating in the sky above. Imprint of "J.N. Adam & Co." Some stain on the side edges but just a tiny bit showing on the extreme top front edge between twelve and two o'clock. Still displays beautifully. VF.
