  • This tree is full of indented Polish glass balls. There are a few that are not Polish, but most of them are. The foil reflectors on the C6 lights are also from the 1950s, as well as the twinkling lights with transformers.

    The bubble lights, the reflectors, the shiny brite ornaments and the icicles on the tree are absolute perfection. I could almost smell the tree.

    I was born in 1957, and grew up with many of these. My favorites were the bubble lights. Also, I loved the translucent colored balls with stripes.

    I have this exact type tree every year using ornaments from when I was a child, real lead tinsel and those crazy reflectors we used to put on the lights too! I spent years doing theme trees and was always feeling un fulfilled until I saw a50's tree in out local store. That is all I have had since, including my original childhood nativity set.

      Yes same here...all the new ornaments and stuff, as pretty as they may be, doesnt make me feel that Christmassy feeling like when i was a kid.I have my one special box of old ornaments i inherited from my Mom(she passed at 48) and those are my most precious of all. I use garland as well. I love tinsel which to me makes the tree, but i have cats and a dog and Im afraid theyll eat it and get sick...I also have my Moms original Nativity

    I'm back again because I noticed a kind of light that I've been looking for.
    It's that small, tubular, screw-in type twinkle light.
    The last time I saw this kind of light, was about 1960 at a neighbor's house.
    I've not seen them since! (I was 10 or 11, and we had the usual C7 type).
    Anyway, a beautiful tree that shows lots of love.
