Neat X-mas tree decoration! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**StingRay** · 10-08-2003, 07:56 PM

Look what Stoonboy found 3 of and offered one of to me. This is a nice little 72 die cast with a Christmas tree and a wrapped present in the back. The little eylette is so it can be hung on the tree. It is a Hallmark cards Keepsake ornament from their Collector's Series. I know it's a bit early to think about Christmas but this little gem is puttin' me in a holiday mood!

nice

*Slams_58* · 10-08-2003, 08:03 PM

Did Randy tell you where he got them Ray? They're cool!

**StingRay** · 10-08-2003, 08:04 PM

Since it's a Hallmark brand I am going to assume he got them at a Hallmark Cards outlet. He said he got the last three.

*Slams_58* · 10-08-2003, 08:05 PM

Going to Winnipeg this weekend..might have to hit a mall ro something!

**N2TRUX** · 10-08-2003, 08:21 PM

I have had mine for a month now. It's a Hallmark series, so it can be purchased at an Hallmark card store....

Joe67 · 10-08-2003, 08:32 PM

I picked one up last week

I have it in the cabinet with the other early Chevy truck diecasts

Andy4639 · 10-08-2003, 08:33 PM

If anyone wants one I can go back to the Hallmark store here and buy all of them. They had probably 20 of them last Saturday when I bought mine.
They were $14.99 each plus whatever it would cost to send.
If you want one LMK and I will get them.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-08-2003, 09:07 PM

Damn I gotta get on the hallmark store's here are sold out.

wild4wheels · 10-08-2003, 09:27 PM

I got mine last week! We have several Hallmark Stores..and they each had a bunch..let me know if I can help.

*Gee_Emm* · 10-08-2003, 10:47 PM

I have 3 and my Mom came home with 1 for me tonight.

Longhorn Man · 10-08-2003, 10:50 PM

Hmmmm, that would look sweet beside the 442 one I have.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-08-2003, 10:52 PM

are there different colours Gee Emm?

Slammed67 · 10-08-2003, 11:15 PM

Sweet.......haven't seen those yet. I got this one probably 5 years ago...... Same thing.... a tree and wrapped package in the bed. I hate Christmas, but the ornaments sure are cool!

Alex · 10-09-2003, 07:45 AM

I didn't know about the ornament until my wife bought one last night and showed me. Found it at Kohl's if that would help anybody looking for one. Not just limited to Hallmark stores.

TsgtE662 · 10-09-2003, 08:50 AM

Guess, I gotta get to the Mall now.
How about other color schemes? They need a GMC truck too!

Old Dave · 10-09-2003, 08:51 AM

Those are a series of trucks that Hallmark started many years ago. My wife has bought my oldest son one every year when they come out. They have a series of cars too, that she started for the youngest son. That's in addition to the many hundred other ones that are hers. Christmas is her favorite time of year, and she goes all out decorating the house and putting up two trees for all the Hallmark ornaments. She keeps saying if she ever sells them they are worth a small fortune but, I keep saying the key word here is "if".

fatfords · 10-09-2003, 09:59 AM

That's cool! My wife buys them for me every year, too, so I guess I know what I'll be getting for my birthday! I've got all the trucks in the series and all the cars, except the first three. Too slow getting started, I guess.

**CPNE** · 10-09-2003, 10:05 AM

Wow, that's pretty close to stock, except the "tow hook" is in the wrong location
