Any history on these

If you have an unusual piece that you have questions about, this is the place to post them. Photos are VERY welcome, though it helps if you reduce them to 800 wide before you upload them. If you can't reduce them yourself, post them anyway and I'll try to reduce them when I have time.

Any history on these

Post by PutzinVT »

Hello:

I see these come up on Ebay once in awhile.
Can anyone tell me about the history on them.

Since there is plastic figures on them, I figure, 50's or 60's?

I don't any history but I do have 2 of these ornaments. I have seen them listed as Shiny Brite ornaments and they come in a box of four. An angel, a raindeer, santa with a sleigh and raindeer and the last one is just santa with a walking stick. They have a round gold seal with Made in Japan with PAT in the center. I'm not sure about the date.

Lynn's info is right on the money--they were produced, so I was told in the mid to late 50's with some in the early 60's as well.

Yes, Lynn is correct.
You see a similar set of houses that are all glitter, but in dark colors (blue, magenta /red, green, silver) and they came in a box of 6. Similar size to these.

Bethany Lowe was making copies of these--right down to the box--some years ago
