 Hallmark Merry
Miniatures were first
introduced by Hallmark Cards, Inc in 1974. From 1974 through
1995 Merry Miniatures were sold as individual unboxed items.
From 1996 through 1999 Merry Miniatures were offered as
boxed sets. In 2000, Hallmark returned to the individual
items and offered collections of complimentary items each
year sold in clear "boxes."
Merry Miniatures offers seasonal items that are perfect for
creating small vignettes or display scenes. They are indeed
miniature as most average only around an inch tall, however,
during the early years of production the items were larger.
There are a number of pieces that were produced with
variations that greatly affect their secondary market
values.
The Merry Miniature Collection also included containers,
early collections such as Hugga Bunch and Cosmopolitan Cats,
as well as a line of boxed Merry Miniature "Greetings." |
