on front of packaging:
Hallmark / KEEPSAKE / ORNAMENT / Larry, Moe, and Curly / The Three Stooges TM / SET OF 3 ORNAMENTS
on back of packaging:
At the moment, they appear to be just three / well-dressed, well-mannered musicians--but / you know them better than that! Larry, Moe, / and Curly are always on the verge of falling into / the slapstick antics that have kept audiences / laughing since the days of Vaudeville. / Today the Three Stooges are winning new / generations of fans as classic short- and / feature-length films, created from the 1930s / into the 1970s, air as daily TV fare across the / nation. There's something irresistible about / their pranks, predicaments, and "poifect" sound / effects. Three well-mannered musicians, indeed! / Sculpted by / Tracy Larsen. / For decorative use only. Not for young children. / Handcrafted - Dated 1998
on top of packaging:
Hallmark / KEEPSAKE ORNAMENT / 25 Years of Collecting Memories / 1973 - 1998
