Vintage Christmas Tree Tinsel was made by a lot of companies and in a wide variety of styles and awesome graphic boxes form the 1940 to 1960s. We use these boxes for decorating and staging.
Tinsel holds a special place for us. My dad loved the real lead tinsel and would lay strand by strand on our real Frasier Trees and then remove each strand and save for the next year. He had the same tinsel for decades.
We use these boxes for all holidays, not just Christmas. Here is a great box to use for Valentines Day or Patriotic Holidays.
