1949 Shiny Brite STAR Mica Stencil Complete Original Set Box Pastel Fade Vintage

Description: This set of 12 Shiny Brite STARS pattern ornaments are like a 1949 time capsule. These are the big 3 inch size and they are lovely. Although I have only circumstantial evidence, I believe these ornaments are in their original Box. The front of the Shiny Brite Box has the classic image of Santa Shaking hands with Uncle Sam. They are surrounded by examples of the types of ornaments being produced at this time. The STARS are mica stenciled, in various sizes, and wrap arround the center of each ball ornament. The stenciled Stars are sharp and clean. The colors of the ornaments in this set are mostly pastel with a mat/pearl finish, and the tones of each color fade and coordinate with one another. 1 Pale Pinkish Pearl 2 Pale Silver Pearl 2 Frosty Blues 1 Dark Blue 3 Medium Pinks 1 Dark Pink Fuchsia 2 Peachy Copper There two balls that have noticeable condition issues as shown in the provided photographs. One Pinkish/Pearl one has gone cloudy and a couple have run marks like the Peach / Copper one as shown. The others are remarkably well preserved with patinas hardly reflecting their 75 years. All retain their original Shiny Brite caps. The box is in pretty good shape. It measures 11 1/4 inches across and 14 3/4 inches long. This may be the largest box and ornament size made during this time period. Three corners of the lid have split, one burdened with scotch tape. There is a rip on the lid edge along the long side and is shown both inside and out, also taped of old. The last name of the original owner is written in ink on the top of the lid. Purchased at Fred Meyer, the original tag reads $2.49. The box bottom is in marvelous shape, and it’s only missing the paper insert for one of the ornaments. The box top reads: SHINY BRITE Registered American Made Glass Christmas Tree Ornaments Factories K. & W. Glass Works, Inc. North Bergen, N. J. West New York, N. J. Sole Distributors Max Eckardt & Sons, Inc. 45 East 17th Street, New York City The end of the Box Top reads: 1 Dozen SHINY BRITE Glass Tree Ornaments Made in U.S.A. Color All sides of the lid continue a wraparound of the logo from the top. Most of this information is repeated on the sides of the box bottom. You see the Shiny Brite logo from all sides, top and bottom. Refer to the photos as part of the description and if you have questions, please ask.
