A great peak into Christmas past.
I can't help but note how the package reflects the days before PC nonsense: The term Christmas is twice prevalent, a three-wise-men graphic is prominent, there's even a star of Bethlehem, plus usage is correct "...they color only when 'lighted'" and of course they did spell fluorescent correctly. My well-to-do aunt had two sets of these fluorescents in the late forties, but try as I would, couldn't get her to drop a string my way. So, I hounded my parents for a year till they bought me a seven-light set of bubble lights.
Treasured them for years. All, of course, before CT-100's...
