This colorful 1945 USA Christmas Seal features a cheerful boy carrying a decorated holiday wreath with a large red bow. The background shows snow-covered houses and a white picket fence, symbolizing warmth and festive cheer at the close of World War II. Issued by the American Lung Association, these seals were not valid postage but were sold to raise funds for the fight against tuberculosis. The bold red “Double Barred Cross,” the symbol of the campaign, appears prominently to the right. A nostalgic piece of holiday and medical charity history, this seal is a must-have for collectors of Christmas and charity seals.
