Product Overview Manufacturer: Produced by the iconic National Tinsel Mfg. Co., which historically operated out of Manitowoc, Wisconsin.


Design: These atomic-era decorations consist of tightly pleated, multi-colored metallic foil discs (featuring silver, red, green, and blue sections).

Historical Context: This specific packaging features a classic mid-century graphic header card with a 29¢ price tag, dating it roughly to the 1950s or 1960s.

There appears to be at lease 3 festoons in the package, there may be more (hard to tell).
