Christmas 1959 In July 2011

Three shots of a recently-found flea market treasure:
Gorgeous 1959 Noma Lites box complete with C-6 bulbs.

One More Holiday Treasure

Yet another gorgeous vintage surprise from my friends Noreen and Jimmy.

This spectacularly colorful box will be collage/assemblage material (for at least one personal piece and another series piece for sale) and the bulbs that are still viable will go to both Noreen and my pal Steve for their vintage trees.  I haven't tested any of the bulbs yet, but oftentimes some oldies still work.
