Three (3) types of the 1925 U.S. National Christmas Seal sheets have been identified:
Type I: The red line around "1925" stops at the green line at the top of the bottom panel and does not join the red background below. The rays around the flames are like the Type II in early impressions, but more frequently show signs of wear, are only slightly tapered, and are blunt at the tips. Rays mostly alternate long and short.
Type III: Similar to Type I but rays around flames are shorter and of a more even length, and usually have sharper portraits. Letters "ea" of "Health" are smaller and more nearly closed. They come in two types of letters, one with heavy "rr" and the other with thin "rr" in "Merry".
