48.00 USD

These are the real deal -- vintage Shiny Brite glass Christmas ornaments. This 12-pack assortment in shades of pink & red, is very old, dating back to the late 1940s.

The ornaments show their age. They are discolored, spotted, faded & have paint loss. But, they are beautiful. Some of them have white stuff on them which I'm guessing is old spray on "snow." Please look closely at the photographs.

Ornaments come in the bottom portion of an original Shiny Brite box. The box is missing its top.

Assortment includes stripes in pink, white, silver & gold, two of which have some mica. Four ornaments have stenciling (3 with "Merry Christmas" & 1 with Santa flying in his sled with reindeer).

Orbs are approximately 3" from cap to base.

Basket not included.
