1997 Ice Pals (Penguin Pals)

This delightful ornament from the 1997 Carlton Cards Heirloom “Ice Pals” series features a charming penguin wearing a red night-cap with silver stars, seated on a block of ice while reading a book. The detailed resin-style design, combined with the sweet theme of winter leisure, gives this piece collectible appeal among both animal-lover decorators and vintage ornament enthusiasts. As part of the Penguin Pals subset, the dated 1997 marking and series branding make it a standout addition to any tree or display case.
