It's an entire week of Christmas listings for this recap -- starting with a bunch of these vintage Ideals Christmas magazines from the 1940s-1960s. The Santa illustration on the right is the work of German artist George Hinke.
Each edition has lots of fun vintage photos and illustrations.
Four antique German ornaments with sprigs of tinsel inside (the pinks have sold).
More antique ornaments -- silvery pine cones.
These ornaments are WWII era -- they have paper caps due to the metal shortage.
A few more assorted indents and stripes.
These ornaments are Victorian era foil "icicles".
A pair of angels, made in Italy, that aren't really ornaments, although they were used as such by their former owners.
And glittery boots, probably made in Japan.
