Hallmark 1996 “Freedom 7” Magic Light and Sound ornament — the first in the Journeys Into Space series.
Celebrate space history with this 1996 Hallmark Keepsake “Freedom 7” ornament, the first issue in the Journeys Into Space Collector’s Series. Sculpted by Ed Seale, this Magic Light and Sound ornament commemorates the 35th anniversary of America’s first manned spaceflight — Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7 mission on May 5, 1961.
When connected to a standard miniature tree light string, pressing the “Launch” button activates a countdown and rocket ignition sequence featuring flickering lights and authentic NASA Mission Control audio. (untested)
The ornament is handcrafted and dated 1996, with an attached connector cord for easy placement. It comes complete in the original gold box, which shows moderate shelf wear and light surface marks from age, but remains fully intact and displayable. The ornament itself is in excellent condition, clean and ready for use or display.
