Vintage Bubble Light Christmas Tree

This is probably my favorite Christmas item I picked up this year.  Which is saying a lot because there were a lot of Christmas items!

I am getting a little nostalgic because I have put it on ebay

and I will be saying goodbye to it on Saturday.

It was made by Noma company, probably in the 1950s.

Noma opened a manufacturing plant at St Joseph, MO in 1953,

so it probably never travelled very far from home.

All 17 of it's still sockets work great,

and it is easy to imagine how cool it would have looked

with bubble lights.  I hope it's next owner will

appreciate it as much as I do.

Sold for $158.
