This is a double–sided booklet of 20 42–cent Holiday Nutcrackers special stamps.
On October 23, 2008, in New York, New York, the Postal Service™ issued a 42–cent, Holiday Nutcrackers special stamp in four designs, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC.
Nutcrackers have been around for centuries. They range from simple utilitarian devices to elaborate collectibles, with a host of creations that fall somewhere in between.
During the winter holiday season, nutcrackers of all shapes and sizes are familiar sights in toy stores, on Christmas trees, on mantel pieces, on book and magazine covers, and in performance venues.
Four eye–catching nutcracker designs — Santa (or “Father Christmas”), a king, a captain, and a drummer — add colorful, humourous touches to winter holiday correspondence in 2008.
