Be ready for the Semiquincentennial celebration with this darling Betsy Ross on her sewing bench. Still in the original ‘Santa’s World’ packaging, these ornaments were manufactured by the Kurt Adler, Inc. factory in what was then the Republic of China. Once a refugee who fled the Nazis and later fought for his new country in World War II, Kurt Adler turned his small export business into an iconic importer of holiday decorations that has become a giant in the trade. Like Jewish department store owners and the Jewish composers behind the best-known songs of the season, Adler helped shape — and secularize — American Christmas culture by celebrating its non-religious aspects. The company is now in its third generation of family ownership. The Besty Ross ornament is made of wood and is in factory original condition. This piece has been offered elsewhere for up to $15.
