VINTAGE CHRISTMAS - SPINNER ORNAMENTS & PUTZ STYLE HOUSES

HERE'S A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OF THE VINTAGE CHRISTMAS SPINNER ORNAMENTS MY LATE PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER GAVE ME. THESE WERE ALWAYS ON HER AND MY GRANDFATHER'S TREE EVERY YEAR THROUGH THE 1960'S AND 1970'S. ALONG WITH A COUPLE STRINGS OF 1960'S BUBBLE LIGHTS THAT DIDN'T SURVIVE THE 1980'S. BACK WHEN EVERYONE STILL USED EITHER C-7 OR C-9 CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS, THESE WOULD HANG ABOVE THE BULB. THE BULBS GOT SO HOT THAT THE HEAT WOULD MAKE THE LITTLE PROPELLER INSIDE SPIN LIKE CRAZY. I'VE TRIED BUYING SOME MORE OF THESE RECENTLY. THEY NORMALLY GO ANYWHERE FROM $20.00 EACH TO AS MUCH AS $200.00 FOR A SET OF 12 STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX. THEY BRING BACK FOND MEMORIES, BUT NOT ENOUGH SO TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR THEM....LOL.






HERE'S A PHOTO OF THE PUTZ STYLE HOUSES I INHERITED FROM MY PARENTS. THESE CAME TO OUR HOUSE SOMETIME IN THE EARLY 1960'S. MY DAD CAN'T REMEMBER FROM WHERE OR WHEN EXACTLY THEY WERE PURCHASED. BELOW IS A PHOTO OF THE 5 I HAD OUT IN MY HOME THIS YEAR. IT IS A SET OF 8, BUT THE OTHER 3 ARE PACKED AWAY SOMEWHERE IN STORAGE.
