Featuring pockets for a variety of different stamps, this small, chic leather wallet was most likely manufactured in West Germany for Noymer Leather Goods of Massachusetts sometime in the 1950s.
Schiaparelli, take note.

US postage stamp, 1989 “Sleigh with Presents” Scott #2428
Issued: October 19, 1989 - Westport, Connecticut Quantity: 900,000,000 Designer: Stevan Dohanos Printed By: American Bank Note Company (Photogravure)
This Contemporary Christmas stamp was created by veteran stamp designer Stevan Dohanos. A former cover artist for The Saturday Evening Post, he had also served as design coordinator for the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, supervising the design of over 300 stamps and designing more than two dozen himself. For this stamp, he took inspiration in an antique toy sleigh from the New York State Historical Association in Cooperstown, New York. The actual sleigh measures three feet, four inches long and 16 inches wide with an upholstered seat and red curved runners. Dohanos also added several gifts wrapped in paper to the sleigh.

2023 Tomie dePaola stamps (USA)
This one came off a letter that arrived fpr me recently. We have them as unused sheets I'll probably some time, but I like canceled stamps too.
This was a favorite story as a kid. I still sing the pasta pot song sometimes when I make dinner.
