Christmas baubles:
Glass Christmas baubles were first made in 1847 in Germany. By the mid-1890s, Woolworth’s stores in America were selling about $25 million in baubles each year. Max Eckardt of Germany then mass-produced his silvered ‘Shiny Brite’ baubles. They reached peak popularity in the late 1950s but faded soon after plastic ornaments were introduced. Luckily, they’re available on the vintage market as the demand for retro decorations is
rising. From: theculturetrip.com
