An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) Christmas seals are stamps placed on mail during the Christmas season to raise funds and awareness for charitable programs. The stamps themselves have no value and are not postage stamps. They were created at the start of the twentieth century to help those ill with tuberculosis, and in the United States, the program was administered by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis (NASPT). With the development of antibiotics after World War II (WWII), TB became a curable disease, although it would be decades before it could be considered under control in developed countries. To reflect the expanding scope of the organization's goals, the name was changed to the National Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association in the late 1960s, and to the American Lung Association in 1973. Christmas Seals are still sold today, but now the proceeds go to combat various lung-related illnesses. Important Added Info: The slide does not have a cardboard holder, but rather there is black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of older glass slides. We have provided both a high quality scan of the image and also a separate image of how the glass slide looks, but in that digital image, you can really just see the outline of the slide and defects (if any) around the edges. Condition: very good. A small amount of the black tape is coming loose. Learn More about condition grades
