Missouri Christmas Ornament, The Show-Me State Engraved Leatherette

A round leatherette Christmas ornament laser engraved with an iconic Missouri design. The design pairs the Missouri state outline with the Gateway Arch, a riverboat and a mule, "The Show-Me State" and EST. 1821. The laser cuts through the top layer so the design shows in a lighter tone underneath. Nothing is printed on, so there is no ink to chip or peel between seasons.

Why the Show-Me State

The phrase is usually credited to an 1899 speech by Missouri congressman Willard Vandiver: "I'm from Missouri, and you have got to show me."

A good gift for

Anyone from Missouri, anyone who just moved away, students away at Mizzou, and the family that adds one ornament a year and remembers where each came from. Small enough to mail, light enough to tuck in a card box.
