Christmas 1900-1940s

From Grandma's Christmas collection. Dates of items range from late 1800s to 1950s.

Special Notes: Information on the 1920s-1940s christmas lights was found on the website Old Christmas Tree Lights. They cover the history of lights from the 1900s to 1950s. Details on ornaments are from the information provided by my father and extensive internet research.

1920s Vintage Christmas Lights - Very Rare
This outfit by the Woodwin Company has beautiful box art that was done by Worth Brehm in 1921, originally for General Electric and used by Woodwin by 1924. Entitled "His First Christmas", the picture depicts the wonderment of a child looking at his first Christmas tree while his parents peek from behind the parlor curtain. This is a very hard to find outfit, that includes the patented "Tatchon" connector, the patent for which revolutionized the Christmas lighting industry. Look up Lester Haft and his 1924 Patent for more information. 1926 was the last year of Woodwin's christmas lighting operation. After this date, the company merged with several others to form the NOMA Electric Corporation.
