Default Re: Vintage Christmas Tree lights

Ah yes, old Christmas lights. However did we manage not to electrocute ourselves? We had some with coloured shades. I seem to remember that originally (1950s) it was only possible to buy white bulbs. The coloured ones were a "modern" invention. One of the shades broke but nothing seemed to stick it back together again so they weren't polystyrene. No idea what they were made of. They're probably still up in the attic somewhere.
