Since Howie Cohen's passing, no items are for sale.
An especially beautiful Christmas Tree Ornament designed by The Smithsonian Institution and produced by the Baldwin Hardware Corp of Reading, PA. The image printed on a ceramic tile is titled KIDS ON BIKE; they are on a tandem with the words A MERRY CHRISTMAS printed below the front wheel. This ornament depicts an image derived from the Litzinger Collection of Postcards, part of the Archives Center of the Smithsonian National Museum. I have two of the postcards in this collection; see POSTCARDS-ANTIQUE, item #USAHoldyXmas 015. The dimensions of the brass frame are 3 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches. See the picture gallery.
