For every category of collectible you can think of, and there are thousands, there is a cream of the crop. Tis the season so I am going to show you just one element of Christmas collectibles that can bring a lot of money. Christmas ornaments. This is a class unto itself. But so are things like those 1960's Aluminum Trees with color wheel lights. One pink aluminum tree recently sold on eBay for $2500. Yup, you read that right. But that's for another blog at another time. Today we look at Christmas ornaments.
Collectors Weekly says "Until the Victorian era, most Christmas trees were decorated with candles, cookies, and fruit, but in the mid-1800's German craftsmen began producing blown glass tree ornaments in shapes like stars, fruit, and angels, and the ornament tradition was born" And so it is. Below I am posting some recently sold antique and vintage ornaments sold on eBay. Bet you won't look at old Christmas ornaments in Aunties old attic, yard sales and church fairs the same way again!! Merry Christmas and Happy Treasure Hunting!!
