$42 USDFancy Rib Twist German Bird Christmas Ornament Spun Glass Tail Original Label
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This unusual and attractive vintage blown glass bird ornament was stored away virtually unused and still has its paper Germany label attached. It's in such great condition that it could pass for a modern German ornament but it was made before World War II in the late 1930s. The bird is 6-3/4" long from beak to the end of its spun glass tail. The glass body has recessed ribs and twists tinted yellow, pink, and blue at either end of the center green band with white painted comma-stroke leaves. The ...
$50 USDGerman Wired and Tinsel Large Indent Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This large wired glass German Christmas ornament is from the 1930s. The center is a dark pink glass double pike, double thumbprint indent teardrop which may once have been red, nearly 4-1/2 inches long by itself. It's wrapped in thin gold crinkled wire, a band of gold feather tinsel garland at the center, and curled and twisted gold bullion wire around the outside.

$32 USDPurple and Silver Corn Flower Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These 1950s West German glass Christmas ornaments are some type of bumpy silver flower with purple petals or leaves. Decorated differently, they could almost be small ears of corn. There are three, painted identically. They are 2-1/4" high by 2" wide and have a slightly flat shape - viewed from the side they look like oval pods. The metal caps are marked West Germany. Slight paint wear to the purple petals, otherwise excellent, shiny condition with no damage.
$35 USDPair 1920s Tiny Figural House Feather Tree Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These unusual tiny mercury silvered feather tree figural glass Christmas ornaments were made in Japan in the 1920s. Just 1-1/2 inches high by 1-1/4 inches high, they're brick or stone houses painted gold with red doors, green chimneys, and purple shingled roofs. The ornaments have some paint wear as shown, and there's some inner mercury loss at the back of one. This ornament still has its original metal cap, the other lost its cap some years ago and it was replaced with a slightly rusty steel ...
$62 USDRed With Mica Stripes Unsilvered War Glass Barrel Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
These four 1940s unsilvered war ornaments are especially nice and very scarce. They are 2-1/4" high, ringed barrel or accordion shape, painted a deep transparent cherry red. The rings of the barrels are thickly coated in mica glitter stripes - one band of white at the center, two bands of blue mica above and below. This shape ornament is usually found with Shiny Brite metal caps, but all of the ornaments have caps marked Made In U.S.A. The ornaments were made at the Corning Glass factory and ...
$60 USDAntique German Gold Kugel Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This authentic gold kugel glass Christmas ornament was made in Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It has an 8-lobed brass cap and measures not quite 2-1/4" diameter, 6-7/8" in circumference. Kugels are colored within the glass, not painted or finished on the outside, and the mercury silvering is on the inside. There is some spottiness from age as shown in the photos, though in normal lighting the spots are not as glaringly brown as they appeared in the photo cube with flash. The mirroring ...
$60 USDAntique German Small Red Kugel Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This authentic red kugel glass Christmas ornament was made in Germany in the late 1800s to early 1900s. It has a 5-leaf brass cap and measures 1-3/4" diameter, 5-3/8" in circumference. Kugels are colored within the glass, not painted or finished on the outside, and the mercury silvering is on the inside. The original mercury silvering on the inside has naturally degraded over the years, causing clouding and spottiness as shown. I tried to show all sides in the pictures. There are some normal ...
$32 USDBeaded Mercury Glass Christmas Garland Large Colored Beads
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Garlands
This vintage beaded glass Christmas garland is 5 feet long, made up of larger beads that are nearly 1/2" diameter in colors of red, green, silver and gold. One end has a cardboard and wire stopper, the other end has been tied off with a single blue bead. Two beads have holes in the sides, not enough damage to remove them from the string. Otherwise the garland is in good vintage condition with color variations and age appropriate mild wear as shown.
$29 USDBlown Glass Pipe Christmas Ornament Hand Painted Flowers
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This mouth blown German pipe Christmas ornament is a little more than 4 inches long. It's a "blowie" - when you blow into the stem, the thin metal disc embedded in the bowl causes a flute-like sound. The pipe is green with a silver stem and has hand painted flowers and leaves on one side. There's some normal silvering loss - the ornament has a near transparent look when held up to the light. Typical darkening of the glass from mercury deterioration near the pike and some paint wear as shown, no ...
$36 USDTri Colored West Germany Glass Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
These three very pretty pinecone glass Christmas ornaments were made in West Germany. Between 3-1/4" and 3-1/2" long, they are blue at the tops, yellow-gold at the centers, and bright pink at the bottoms, an unusual decoration. All three are lightly coated in white mica glitter to simulate frost or snow. The metal caps are marked West Germany. The ornaments have some inner silvering loss apparent only when held up to the light. Light mica wear, not bad, no chips or breaks.
$54 USDMercury Glass Bead Christmas Garland With Wrapped Ball Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Garlands
This pretty 9 foot long beaded mercury glass Christmas garland is strung with 1/4 inch silver beads and nine one-inch colored large glass beads or ornaments spaced along the strand. The large colored balls are wrapped with circles of smaller silver beads, about 1/8 inch diameter. There are just a few chipped silver beads. The finish is very good on the beads and ornaments, just a little wear to the pink and red coloring of the larger balls. Star shaped cardboard stoppers are wired to both ends.
$52 USDVictorian Large Wire Wrapped Horn Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This antique German free blown glass horn ornament is from the Victorian era. It's shaped more like an old fashioned ear trumpet for the hard of hearing rather than a musical instrument type of horn, about 7" long with a bent long stem and upturned bowl. The ornament is wrapped in strands of thin curly gold wire which has suffered a few breaks and shifted over the last hundred-some years. Originally painted flat, unsilvered white with perhaps a red or pink rim, much of the paint is gone now. The ...
$39 USD2 Premier Unsilvered WWII Glass Grape Cluster Christmas War Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
These 1940s glass Christmas ornaments by Premier Glass Works are relatively rare. They're in the shape of grape clusters, which alone would make them scarce from an American manufacturer, but they are also unsilvered war ornaments - made during World War II when rationing and shortages of silver nitrate forced ornament manufacturers to use painted, sprayed or flashed transparent colors. The grapes are 2-1/2 inches tall. One is transparent red, the other blue. The finish is excellent on both with ...
$42 USD3 Shiny Brite 1930s Chandelier Glass Christmas Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
Set of three early Shiny Brite figural glass Christmas ornaments in a scarce beaded drop shape that I'm going to call chandelier, until I think of something better or learn the correct name. I've seen them called UFOs, space capsules, and satellites but those terms refer to a more recent time period. Among the first Shiny Brite specialty shapes produced in the 1930s, this style was not produced very long and was never brought back after the war ended in 1945. The ornaments are just under 2-3/4" ...
$35 USDWine Cask Barrel With Grapes Glass Christmas Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This unusual silvered glass Christmas ornament is in the shape of a wine cask or barrel, about 2-1/4" wide by 2-1/2" high. Decorated in red and silver with white mica staves, a molded cluster of blue grapes with green leaves is in the center. An ornament similar to this is shown attached to a clip in the Lightner Christmas Rarities book - this one was made in Germany before 1940. Very slight color and mica wear but overall very good condition for its age.
$48 USDFaceted Mercury Glass Christmas Bead Garland Red Green Silver 9 Feet
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Garlands
110 inches, a little over 9 feet of vintage Japan pretty mercury glass Christmas tree bead garland. The strand is made up of red, green, and silver faceted 1/4" diameter beads and larger 1/2" diameter chartreuse faceted beads. One end is wired with a foil cardboard stopper, the other just the wire. The string has been broken and re-knotted in 2 places, and there are several inches of extra string (not included in the length measurement). There is typical wear to the finish, mostly to the red ...
$56 USDFather Christmas on Oak Leaf 1930s German Glass Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass
This 3" silvered German glass oak leaf ornament has a very well defined Father Christmas style Santa Claus figure embossed in high relief on the front. The ornament has some pink tinting at one side and the bottom - it may have been made that way, though it's more likely that the rest of the color has faded or worn away over the years. The back has some pale green and yellow tinting at the upper leaves. The silvering is still very reflective with good interior coverage except near the pike where ...
$59 USD4 Shiny Brite Unsilvered Stenciled Glass Christmas War Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Glass:War Era Wwii Unsilvered
A scarce set of four 1940s Shiny Brite unsilvered Christmas ornaments made during World War II when silvering agents were unavailable for all but military use. Stenciled or screen printed war ornaments are not unheard of but they are unusual, and I've never seen this particular design before. The 2-1/4" ornaments are pinkish-red at the tops, clear at the bottoms with thin horizontal faded blue stripes in the centers. White snowflakes, bells, and ornaments decorate the centers all the way around, ...
$15 USDFoil Christmas Tree Corsage Pick with Mercury Glass Ornaments
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Vintage
This fancy old Christmas tree decoration could have been meant as a corsage, a package decoration, or a floral pick item. It's a dimensional metallic green foil tree decorated with wired garlands of colored mercury glass beads in three sizes, smallest to largest from top to bottom. The tree is similar to a honeycomb type paper decoration with a flat back. It's about 2-3/4" high from the tip to the lower branches by 3" at the widest point. A silver foil covered wire extends from the back center. ...
$46 USDGold Tinsel Retro Tabletop Christmas Tree With Pixie Elves and Beads in Box
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Vintage
This 1960s Japan gold foil tinsel tabletop Christmas tree is decorated with plastic face pixie elves and gold mercury glass beads in the centers of the tinsel flowers. The tree is nearly 18 inches tall and stands on a gold painted wooden base.Three of the pixies are faces only, attached by their white felt collars. Two more are full figured with red chenille arms and legs. The red chenille has faded with age, otherwise the tree is in good condition. The tree comes in its original box - the ...
$36 USDSterling Christmas Lighted Cellophane Halo Candle Wreath Original Box
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Lights, Lighted Decorations:Novelty Lighted Decor

The cord is over 4 feet long and in good condition with no breaks. The red flame light bulb works fine, the halo has minor rub wear but no cracks or chips, and the wreath is in very good ...
$38 USDBox 6 Japan Angel Christmas Ornaments With Feather Gowns
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Angels
This set of six Mid Century Japan Christmas angel ornaments comes in the original box. The 3 inch angels have gowns made of white feathers and each holds a little green bottle brush tree in her chenille arms. The heads are painted spun cotton, the hair gold curly chenille, their wings are metallic gold paper. The angels have gold tinsel at their necks and gold cord hangers. All six are in excellent vintage condition and come in their original cardboard box.
$45 USDBox Commodore Miniature Nativity Scene Christmas Lights
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Lights, Lighted Decorations:Light Sets
This 1960s figural miniature Nativity Christmas light set was made by Commodore. There are 15 lights on the string, each illuminating a 2" high white hard plastic glittered Nativity scene. The set has age and storage wear but I don't think the lights were ever actually used or removed from the box inset. The original instruction sheet and hang tag are present, as is a sealed package of two replacement screw-in mini light bulbs. The set works up fine as you can see - there is no wear or damage to ...
$18 USDBox 1950s Blue and Green 1 Inch Metallic Foil Tinsel Garland
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Garlands
Although the box is in rough condition, the pretty blue and green metallic foil tinsel garland inside is all there, complete and unused inside. Made in Western Germany in the late 1940s to early 1950s, the tinsel is about 1 inch wide, the tinsel strands light and feathery but not sparse. No length is listed on the box - it may have been on the missing top flap - but I estimate a minimum of 20 feet based on the length and number of strands wrapped around the cardboard insert. Box is missing both ...

Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Plastic And Other Materials
Complete in their original box, this 1950s set of 24 Glo-In-The-Dark Christmas ornaments was made in the USA by Superior Mfg. Co.

The back of the box has this description: A Miracle Of Light - These amazing ornaments absorb enough light in seconds to cast a lustrous glow when the room is darkened ... Each ornament has a handy loop for stringing or hanging on ...

There are six of them, each about 6 inches long on its own green chenille stem. The centers have little metallic gold paper buttons. The poinsettias are in excellent vintage condition, though the colors may be a little faded.
$32 USD3 Napco Porcelain Reindeer Christmas Candle Huggers Climbers

$22 USDJosef Originals Christmas Train Salt and Pepper Shakers

A set of ceramic Christmas salt and pepper shakers by Josef Originals in the shape of a holiday train engine or locomotive and caboose car. Both shakers decorated with holly, the caboose is loaded with wrapped gifts. About 2" high by 2" and 1-1/2" long, the shakers are in good vintage condition with a few tiny specks of wear to the cold red paint, nothing serious. Plastic stoppers are present, one shaker has the original Josef Originals and Korea foil stickers on the bottom.
$16 USD1950s Twinkler Blue Star Spinner Christmas Motion Ornament
Collectibles:Holiday, Seasonal:Christmas:Ornaments:Plastic And Other Materials
This 3-1/2" star twinkler motion ornament is from the 1950s and bears a patent number that dates to 1956. When hung above a Christmas tree light bulb, the heat causes the metal blades inside to whirl and spin. It's made of bright blue glittered plastic, with a transparent plastic cage or drum to protect the spinning mechanism. It works just fine - I tested it by holding the star in front of my space heater. The clear plastic drum has a small heat mark at the center bottom from contact with a ...
