• Maker: Unmarked
• Quantity: Set of 13 bows (5 with ornament hooks attached)
• Materials: Celluloid plastic, gold glitter
• Dimensions: Approx. 2.25 inches Long, 2 inches Wide (each)
• Origin: Unmarked
• Era: Vintage 1960s–1970s

Each bow is celluloid plastic covered in gold glitter, and all thirteen are the same size. Some have ornament hooks attached and are ready to hang on a tree; or the hooks can be removed to tuck into wreaths, garlands, and other Christmas decorations. Celluloid is rigid and brittle, so handle gently.

A pretty choice for decorators, crafters, and ornament collectors who want vintage sparkle for a tree, a wreath, or a swag of garland.

Celluloid is one of the earliest plastics, invented in the mid-1800s, and it was used for holiday decorations for generations. These bows come from the mid-century plastic boom: the late-1950s rise of aluminum Christmas trees increased demand for plastic ornaments, and by the 1960s they came in endless variety. Celluloid is highly flammable, so display these away from heat and open flame.
