Up for auction tonight, I have 5 boxes of vintage old "lead" icicles, also known as tinsel growing up!! They are in their original boxes. It appears that that two of the boxes haven't been used, and three of the boxes have but they must have been owned by "neatnicks" because they are wrapped very tidy in their boxes with the old string. I weighed all five boxes and they weigh in at about 1 1/2 lbs., this weight is with the boxes, just to give you a rough idea of the weight. Two of the actual boxes are in EXCELLENT condition for the age of this tinsel which I would guess to be about 60 years ago, I'm not an expert but after doing some research, I would guess that this is the age of these particular boxes of tinsel. The other 3 boxes are in good decent condition, 1 box has gotten brittle on the end of w the tinsel comes out, which is an age thing, w the crease is to open. Everything is still intact but I'm not going to put tape, etc..I'll leave that up to the buyer of these. The other box has a little tear but very minor, and not totally ripped off just torn but is still complete. The box reads "Fireproof Christmas Decorations", on the end of the box "Made by B. Wilmsen, Philadephia, PA". I purchased 6 boxes but one box is pretty much leftovers and the box is in decent condition, so I will INCLUDE the box in this auction, you may have
