1979 Ambassador, Pink Panther – RARE – Shop Sample

QX49G – The Holiday House Collection, By Ambassador

MINT IN BOX

This piece is a shop sample with notations on the box regarding the color scheme to be used, with initials from supervisors etc.  While this and the 1981 ornament both feature an affable Pink Panther with outstretched arms with the words “Merry Christmas,” this “test satin ball” has a different pose with the large 1979 date than that of the 1981.

Ambassador is a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards.

Approx 50 different Ambassador ornaments were available in 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982.
The ornaments could be found in Woolworth’s, Ben Franklin, Card Shops, Supermarkets and Drug Stores.
These ornaments are truly a rare find for the collector.
