The biggest and most comprehensive pictorial guide to the field of collectible Christmas lighting, this book is the ideal present for Christmas tree light collectors. This double-size volume showcases the transition of Christmas lighting from the 1890's to the 1960's, starting with the first hand-blown lights which were used by an associate of Thomas Edison. An extensive selection of rare and unique figural light bulbs are displayed, along with examples of boxed electric lighting sets of the 1920's and 1930's. Also included is a broad representation of all manner of vintage yuletide lighting, such as door wreaths and window candelabras, tree toppers, early plaster Santa heads of the 1920's, vinylite lighting from the 1950's, bubble lights, shade sets and matchless stars, motion lamps, mantle and table decorations, pre-wired trees, and other odd and unique Christmas lighting collectibles.
