Spartus Christmas Tree Color Wheel in Box If you're lucky enough to have a vintage aluminum Christmas tree, you need a color wheel spotlight to illuminate it, rather than risk electrical shock with traditional Christmas lights. This Spartus rotating color wheel is in excellent working condition and comes complete in its original box (you will need to add the light bulb however). It can rest on the floor or be mounted on the ceiling or wall.

Neither the adjustable lamp unit nor the color disc have any damage. The box is in great shape with the inner protective cardboard panels for the wheel intact. The assembly instruction sheet is included in the box. Most of the color wheels I've seen and sold over the years have somewhat noisy motors, but this one works perfectly in near perfect silence - no rattling or humming at all.

Box Noma Pink White Wired Tulle Chenille Angel Christmas Tree Lights A very hard to find boxed set of working Angel Lites for Christmas or to decorate a girl's room by Amico Noma. There are ten screw-in type miniature white lights on the string, each held by a little pink or white angel figure. The angels are between 2-1/2" and 2-3/4" high, with wired tulle gowns and wings decorated with glitter. They have yellow curly chenille halos atop spun cotton heads and chenille arms.

The lights work perfectly as you can see. The set was apparently never used - the cord is still factory coiled and has the bagged replacement bulb and foil Made In Japan label attached. The only sign of wear is some mild discoloration to the angels' faces - I think that just comes from age and storage. The box is a bit age yellowed too but is intact with no tears or damage.

Glolite 1940s Lighted Christmas Nativity Scene Display in Original Box This illuminated Nativity scene lighted Christmas display was made by Glolite in the 1940s. The concave, dimensional dome shape scene is made of thin vacuform plastic and measures 12 by 9-1/2 inches. The Star of Bethlehem is cut out in the sky above the scene so it glows brightly when the scene is lit up.

The display is clean and in excellent condition with no damage (the back has some scuffing and light soiling as shown, none on the front). It lights up fine and the cord is in excellent condition. The included light bulb is gold. A white bulb will give off a brighter light if desired, or you may wish to use red or blue for a more muted effect. The box still has the original inner protective cardboard insert. One side lid flap is torn and damaged as shown, otherwise the box is intact and the graphics on the lid are very nice.

In very good vintage condition with no chips or cracks.

Box 1950s Italian Pine Cone Elves Gnomes Christmas Lights One of the best Christmas light set I've ever come across: an early 1950s boxed miniature light set made in Italy with 12 pinecone gnomes or elves holding a candle topped by a mini light bulb. The elves have white mica snow frosted pinecone bodies, real cotton batting beards, and molded clay-like composition hand painted faces. Each one is different, and each has a different style or color of paper maché composition hat. The hats have wired loops so you can position them with hooks or wire on the tree branches - with wonderful faces like that, you don't want any of them facing the wall or the inside of the tree!

The overall length of the light string is about 18 feet with the gnomes spaced from about 10 to 12 inches apart. The original cardboard box says Italian Cristmas Lights (notice the spelling error) and a label reading "Art. 714, 12 Dwarfs with candle, assorted colours, green wire, Volts 110/120, Made In Italy". The box is intact but lid has corner wear and tears to the cellophane windows.

The plug and the thin, twisted wire cord are in good shape, with one small repaired wire split. One light bulb is missing but the others all work and burn steadily (though of course I cannot guarantee how much longer they'll continue to work, given their age). A couple of the gnomes have splits or minor breaks to their pine cone tips, and one is missing his arm to hold the candle (you can attach it to a cone tip). Another elf is missing his hat but all are really in super condition considering their age and fragile nature. This is truly a rare and special find for the vintage Christmas or pine cone elf collector.

1940s Noma Lighted Christmas Halo Candolier in Original Box This electric single candolier lighted halo candle decoration by Noma comes complete in its original red cardboard box. The heavy paper candle tube has applied gesso wax drips and is inserted into a chrome metal base. The yellow bulb is surrounded by a plastic halo to enhance the flame-like glow. The candle is decorated with silver foil leaves, lacquered berries, and a red flocked poinsettia flower. It lights up fine though the cord has been repaired with electrical tape. Overall height of the candle with halo is 9-3/4". The original paper hang tag with a 1942 patent date is still attached to the cord.

The chrome base could stand polishing and it does have some light storage and use scratches. The halo needs cleaning but is not chipped or cracked. There is minor wear to the serrated leaf edges as shown. The box lid is taped at three corners, the box bottom is intact with no damage.

Pixie Elf Spinning Circle Lighted Christmas Wreath in Original Box This charming electric pixie elf decoration is from the 1960s. It's called the Pixie Circle of Light Spinning Holiday Light on the box. Red, green, white and gold blinking lights give the effect of "spinning" around the 8" gold tinsel circle, surrounding a rubber-faced pixie head in the center.
The wreath can be hung on a tree, mantle, wall, or in a window, or used as a Christmas tree topper. A length of heavy cotton string cord is attached for hanging. The wreath is in perfect working condition in the original box. It works fine as you can see and has no damage. Box has slight corner wear but no tears.

20 Vintage Foil Christmas Light Reflectors These 3" diameter round rayed metal Christmas light reflector collars aren't marked, but they were made in the 1950s to early 1960s by Doubl-Glo. There are 20 of them, made of sturdy foil in bright colors of blue, red, green, and yellow-gold. They're designed to slip over the necks of standard Christmas tree light bulbs to enhance and reflect the light. There are a few minor crinkles to some of them, but overall they're in very good condition with no tears or color wear.

Mr Christmas Red Tinsel Twin Star Lighted Tree Topper Decoration Boxed This beautiful Mr. Christmas lighted tree top decoration is the same on both sides. It's in the shape of a dimensional 8-pointed star with clear red plastic jewels arranged in a beaded effect at the spikes of the stars, spiral red plastic center ornaments, and transparent red miniature lights, all surrounded by lush, red metallic foil tinsel.

The box is dated 1976 and marked Made in Taiwan. The wreath lights up fine though one bulb lights only occasionally, it either needs to be tightened or replaced and the cord is in good condition. The box lid is torn at the window opening and is missing the cellophane but the box bottom is intact.

Green Tinsel Bells Circle of Lights Electric Wreath Tree Topper in Box This lighted tinsel wreath decoration is part of a series of "Circle of Light" Christmas decorations. Other styles had candles or figures like elves or Santas in the center. This one has two brass bells with metal clappers dangling from the center, tied with a red ribbon and lacquered holly and berries. The green lights, crystal flower reflectors, and bright green tinsel are very pretty and festive, even when the lights are off.

The box says it's for windows, walls, or doors but my parents used theirs as a tree topper. The wreath lights up fine and is in good condition, though the red flannel ribbon shows some wear. The box has quite a bit of storage and handling wear but is intact.

Ringalite Red Triple Jeweled Star Electric Christmas Tree Topper in Original Box This Ringalite lighted star Christmas tree top decoration dates to the late 1940s. It's in mint condition in the original box, looks brand new and never used. The topper consists of three layered or stacked hard plastic red glittered stars with a red light bulb in the center (included), about 5" diameter. The effect is prettier when lit than my pictures show - my camera is lousy in dim light. The box is not mint, it has storage wear, a bumped corner, and one corner of the cellophane window is loose.

Fancy Gold Mesh Tinsel Lighted Christmas Candle Wreath This fancy, glittery metallic electric Christmas candle wreath dates to the 1960s. The 14" diameter cardboard base is decorated with feathery gold metallic tinsel trim. In the center are a pair of mesh-covered candles illuminated with gold Christmas light bulbs. The base has a metallic red Punchinello bow trimmed with four gold mercury glass ball ornaments (Punchinello is the stuff that's left over after stamping out sequins, by the way - it was a popular craft and floral ribbon in the Sixties).

The candles light up fine as you can see, though you may wish to replace the old Bakelite non-polarized plug for safety. The gold feather trim around the circular wreath base was wired on and it looks like someone taped the edges in place in a few spots at the back. The back has some bare spots with cardboard showing but they don't show from the front. The red metallic ribbon has been somewhat flattened from storage and the gold mesh has a few breaks, but the wreath still displays nicely.

Box National Tinsel Double Metallic Foil Christmas Light Reflectors This vintage box of National Tinsel metallic foil Christmas light reflectors is supposed to contain 7 pieces, but eight were found inside.

Both the box and the reflectors are in very good vintage condition with a side tear to the cellophane window.

Mica Coated Electric Candle Lamp Post Lighted Christmas Decoration This 11-1/4" high mica encrusted electric lamp post or street light can be used alone or as part of a putz Christmas village scene. Made of cardboard, it's completely coated in white crushed glass mica and gold glitter. The base is decorated with glittered dried fern trees, the post has metallic green foil holly leaves and a red lacquered berry.

The red candle bulb lights up fine and the cord and plug are in excellent condition with no cracks, brittleness, or splits. The post is partially loose on the base but still attached, a little glue to the back will ensure it can't accidentally be tipped over. There is some age darkening to the lower base, otherwise the decoration is in excellent condition. The lighting in my pictures make the base look darker than it actually is. The lamp comes with its original cardboard box bottom, plain except for a Made in Japan label and stock number markings. The box bottom is stained and shelf worn but provides good protection for the fragile lamp post.

Good-Lite 1940s Lighted Angel Christmas Tree Topper With Box A Good-Lite Electrified Christmas Tree Top Angel from the 1940s with the original box. Made of thin hollow vacuform plastic with a cardboard backing, the oval angel plaque can be used as a window, mantle, or wall lighted decoration as well as a tree topper. It's 7 by 9 inches and has a light socket with bulb clipped to and opening in the back to illuminate the large winged haloed angel. An unpunched keyhole above the bulb will allow you to hang the angel on a wall or suspended in a window, the coiled metal extension below the bulb fits on to the top branch of a Christmas tree.

The cord and plug are in good condition with no brittleness or damage. There's a little wear to the back edges of the cardboard backing, very minor and nothing that shows from the front. No breaks, cracks, or damage to the angel, and it lights up fine. The box is missing the upper flap and has typical wear from age and storage, one broken but not detached crease to the upper edge. Cellophane window is intact.

Funky Retro Wicker Bell Lighted Christmas Decoration Boxed with Tags This 1950s to early 60s white wicker electric Christmas bell with six plastic poinsettia lights still has its original hang tag and comes in the original box. It's about 6" high by 7" wide, not counting the hanging ring and plastic bell and holy leaf clapper which extends another 3" below the bell rim. The lights are the early screw-in mini type, and they all work fine. The 7-1/2" foot cord and plug are in perfect condition - I don't think the set was ever used. The box is not in good condition with torn flaps and considerable storage wear. Made in Hong Kong by Tilso.

One of the reasons I love vintage Christmas stuff is the opportunity to indulge in as much tackiness as I want (decoratively speaking) and have my guests compliment me on the totally cool look. I think you'll find that this funky lighted bell will not go unnoticed on your door, wall, or window next holiday season.
