A set of Vintage Christmas Seals got added to the Scrubbles flickr photostream this morning. I vaguely remember our family getting these from the Red Cross American Lung Association every year in the ’70s and ’80s — are they still making them?
Update — they are still being made.
Tell me what you're thinking...

Since 2000, Scrubbles.net has been the online stomping grounds for Phoenix, AZ designer Matt Hinrichs. I'm a curious and curmudgeonly type who gets off on obscure and unsung pop culture of yore. Or something like that.

Are you sure you got them from the Red Cross? I believe that’s the logo of the American Lung Association. (I have no idea if the organizations are related)
