First up, courtesy of Mark Podmore, Noma Candle-Lites---and with the box! Candle-Lites were electric Christmas lights designed to resemble traditional wax candles, often with a “dripping wax” effect molded into the plastic. Manufactured by NOMA Electric Corporation, a pioneer in holiday lighting since the 1920s, these lights became popular in mid-20th century American homes.
A neighbor's son was simply fascinated by the whole "old-timey" feel of it. WE CLASSIFY IT AS INTERESTING PIECE OF MODERN CHRISTMAS KITSCH.
And finally, some wonderful old stock Dresden trims from Blumchen.
And finally a great shot of Norma Shearer, who died in 1983. Reviewing Shearer's work, Mick LaSalle called her "the exemplar of sophisticated 1930s womanhood ... exploring love and sex with an honesty that would be considered frank by modern standards". READ AND SEE MORE HERE. CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO SEE SHEARER in 1930. And to read more about Shearer in 1939's "THE WOMEN", click here.
