Thanks to member Vinman posting numerous Santa Claus postcard pics in the recent past here, I have since found myself looking for them at stamp shows.
I'm intrigued by the depiction of S. Claus' different colored suits!
So here are the ones I found at the G.A.S.S. in Cleveland a few weeks back;
This last one I chose only because I like the Christmas Seal placed on the picture side that is used for the correct year in the postmark on the other side:

Not long now, wonder if I've been naughty or nice. Have to dig out the stocking and hanger.
Enjoy looking at all the cards, thanks.

Hi Musicman:
Re: the different Santa costumes, while not a post card, here's a patriotic cover by the Porto-Server Co., of Chicago sold during the WW II years of Santa in an Army olive drab uniform. There is also one with Santa in Navy blue, but I haven't been successful in acquiring it yet.

I like the Sinterklaas / Sint Nicolaas cards, but to be honest, I can't recall ever having seen one let alone received one. I also have a few collections of old cards kept by my parents and grandparents and among all the birthday and christmas cards I have not seen anything like this.
How old are these cards? Looking at the designs I would guess 1930s, but the photo cards look much more recent.

JanSimon, The photocards are mostly from the sixties. (1967, 1968)

Here is a Power Point presentation I presented to "The Philatelic Gathering", a group of collectors that meets every third Saturday at The Chester County Historical Society in West Chester , PA.

I tried to upload the presentaion on Stamporam's exhibit page but it won't load. I guess it's because it is a Power Point presentation not individual pages.
