I remember those aluminum foil trees in the 1960s. Because they were conductive you could not use conventional electric lights. They were illuminated by a spotlight with a rotating disk with three different color filters that caused the tree to change colors. My mother detested them and when our neighbors installed one in their picture windows she always said how tacky that looked. Ironically, we had a real long needled tree “flocked” with artificial snow and illuminated by the same color wheel spotlight.
Thanks, see post #4
We still have one. I lI’ve ut. Reminds me of going to my great grandfather’s house with tons of relatives for Christmas celebrations.
A vintage aluminum tree complete with color wheel in great condition fetches a fair amount these days, the whole “mid-century modern” thing.
