Large vintage Christmas card [9" X 13" closed].
Santa's face on the front; pull down the tip of his beard to change facial expression.
The back shows images of toys and holiday items around a blank "letter" ready to be filled.
As you open the giant card, a holiday scene pops up: Santa's sled at the front, a Christmas tree, carolers in front of the house and Santa with the toys sack.
Made in Czechoslovakia by Kubarta.

That's a great card. I have never seen anything like that.
Wow! Your card is huge! Vintage for sure since Czechoslovakia hasn't existed for some time.
Wow! what a beautiful work of art you have. I love seeing vintage items from other countries too. Thanks for sharing your card!
Your card is truly art. I'd love to get that in the mail at Christmas.
This is wonderful. I love *pop-ups*. What a treasure! Happy PFF
How wonderful and so very unique! I've never seen anything like it.
Happy PFF!
This is nothing short of amazing!
What a lovely card! Did someone donate that to the shop or is that from your own collection?
Protector of Vintage, it's a donation to the shop. All items in this blog are....
I'm curious - do you know how old the card is? It looks to be in pristine condition. How did you get it?
MrCachet,
I think it's from the 50's, and it's really not in good conditions: the photos amazingly make it appear better than in reality. There is a lot of yellowing [almost brown!] and age wear, plus the tip of the beard is missing, torn off [too much pulling!!!].
I remember these types of cards from when I was little and lived in Italy.
The card was donated to our charity organization, like all the items posted on this blog.
Wonderful card! Pulling on Santa's beard-hilarious!
I remember pop-ups from when I was a child. I loved playing with them, but unfortunately the wear and tear was too much for them! Great card!
That's a really cool card!
