2012 White House Christmas Ornament

[Dave@Moon]

I thought some would like to see these, and the procedes go to a worthy cause.

If you're like me your Christmas tree is festooned with antique car ornaments. In line at the post office today I came accross one from a very unusual source, the 2012 White House Christmas Ornament. This year's ornament portrays Prsident W.H. Taft riding in his 1909 White Model M steamer. Interestingly it costs $25 at the post office, but $17.95 online (free shipping).

They also sell a silk tie for $75 with Taft's car on it.

Is the ornament one of those laser cut brass type that kinda pull apart to make the shape, like a metal origami in a way? I haven't seen a painted one but looks like it could be. They tend to be very well detailed and look pretty cool, I have a few but not this year's, may have to change that!
