Ole truckers think alike... I have that ornament actually two of
them...They are Hallmark Ornaments and still available on the display
at most card and party stores. I couldn't resist picking one up when
buying an ornament for the wife( I get her one every year ) then
found out she had already bought one for me!... Turns out everyone
wanted to get on the bandwagon as both brothers found other ones, a
forest green one same size but no tree in back and not an ornament, a
custom blue with flames, and an oxide red primed one somehow also got
delivered to the house and I now find two miniatures resting on the
piano and two AMT/ertl 1/25 scale models - One assembled and
one not. I also have one same size as the ornament but in a plastic
display case! Wheeeeew! now if I could only apply a drop of magic
potion to make them grow to real life size I'd be rich!
Happy Holidays all you oletruckers!
