Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree - Sparkler POM-POM

One of the most favored motifs dating back to the late 1960s is the Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree Sparkler POM-POM 4'. The very first aluminum Christmas tree was made in 1959, and was manufactured by the Aluminum Specialty Company.

Soon after the first aluminum Christmas trees appeared on the market other manufacturers adopted the style as these trees became extremely popular and sought after by the public. The Aluminum tree remained on the market until the late 1970s. Originally the trees predominant color was silver and represented a wonderful sparkly symbol depicting the space age.

The Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree Sparkler POM-POM 4' was then manufactured in various other colors such as blue, pink, green and red. In today's times these aluminum trees, especially the colored trees fetch a relatively high price. This specific Christmas tree is highly sought after by collectors, especially those that collect other antique collectibles and vintage decorations.

The vintage aluminum Christmas tree is also referred to as the space age Christmas tree. Great care must be taken when decorating an aluminum tree due to the tree being a vintage. You cannot decorate the tree the same way you would a live tree or artificial tree.

Firstly you cannot string lights onto an aluminum tree, as this could present a fire hazard and the branches are also incredibly delicate. The beauty about this tree is that it is naturally sparkly, and will enhance any room with soft lighting. You could also purchase a color wheel and place it on the floor in front of the tree, which will bring out the natural color of the tree.

Only use lightweight decorations and place them on the tree gently so you not damage the aluminum strips on the branches. The Vintage Aluminum Christmas Tree Sparkler POM-POM 4' is rare and can be found on auctions and collectors websites.
