1918 Christmas Seal on Postcard, Tied by Handstamp Cancellation
The above item with a Christmas seal was used on December 24, 1918 from a town in Minnesota.
The Christmas seal itself has a particularly striking design, including the Statue of Liberty, undoubtedly part of the Victory celebration of the end of the First World War. By the end of the War, Americans were very familiar with the Red Cross, since they had been inundated by fund-raising drives, and the activities of many Red Cross volunteers on the home-front.
Note that the sender put the stamp and the seal in the upper left portion of the card, which is against Post Office rules.
