Description
Gifted from: LG. This 1970 Italian postcard depicts Santa Clause sitting against a tree, playing a musical instrument for a squirrel. The instrument has the curved body of a saxophone that narrows to the size of a trumpet's tubing in the middle and top. The instrument seems to have a brass mouthpiece and trumpet valves, though the valves look non-fuctional. The instrument seems to be a fictional saxophone-trumpet combination. The text on the card says "Buon Natale e felice anno nuovo" which translates from Italian to "Merry Christmas and happy new year." The card was published by GM Milano.
