QR Code Link to This Post
9 are from the early 1950s and 3 are from the 1940s.
The 1950s balls measure approximately 2” tall x 1 3/4” wide. 1940s balls measure 1 3/4” tall x 1 1/2” wide. Box measures 8 3/4” x 7” x 2”.
All have metal caps marked POLAND.
Features white glittering mica flakes with deep reflective indentations in the center.
1 is NOT an indent.
Hand-painted. The 1950s ornaments have floral patterns painted on their sides.
These ornaments have a classic, shimmering aesthetic that reflects light beautifully.
Many have hooks dating to the 1940s and 1950s.
Box is marked Poland and “X-19-2/1” with classic graphics.
The 9 ornaments from the 1950s are in excellent condition. No issues. The 3 from the 1940s have wear consistent with their age. One has a chipped top and the indent is broken (see pictures.) The box shows signs of age and wear. The cellophane cover is torn and one side corner has a tear which separates the 2 sides. Graphics are not faded.
These have been in my family for decades.
Pickup in New Hyde Park, Nassau County, Long Island. Cash only.
