So much great stuff to show you! As always, click on the photos and links.

That's
followed by A REPEAT REQUEST for a close-up of these amazing Christmas house-shaped candy tins that were a gift from Lady J; these are new but the lithography and embossing
are outstanding with different scenes on the front, sides and back.
And finally--from the days when electricity was still new and
exciting--1915 "Electric" Christmas gifts. Click on the photos and
enjoy.
And to a reader looking to restore some Santa candy bags she was given, we believe this product is what you're looking for. It's from Blumchen:
In the late
1990's, at the famous Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany, we showed a piece
of vintage mesh tubing to the owner of a family-owned 'Leonische draht'
trimmings firm. He was kind enough to entertain our request to once
again manufacture this wire mesh, and even purchased an original antique
machine to produce it especially for us!
Made in the same style and
quality as Victorian-era knit wire net tubing, we are pleased to
offer this authentic metallic "Trikotine Hohlschlauch". Read on! http://bit.ly/1s1IxcY
