1927 Electrified Christmas Tree Stand Restoration

This cast iron, electrified Christmas Tree stand was manufactured by NOMA around 1927.
This one still had its original bakelite light sockets and electrical socket. You'll notice the electrical socket takes both parallel plugs and tandem plugs. Tandem plugs sure are a thing of the distant past.
All the wiring I used is 18 AWG lamp wire. Everything is well insulated and safe. The replacement lamps are LED and draw very little current. Then base with the tree lights plugged in only draws a little over 1 amp.

I had the exact tree stand as that for 20 years. I restored it and donated to a raffle. It's only for tabletop sized trees because it holds so little water. Very cool because I've never seen another until now!

@moxee33 2 года назад

Was yours painted like that also? Did the green color go beyond the raised edges?

@toddfraisure1747 2 года назад

@@moxee33 I think I remember it that way, like it wasn't real precise. I found it in a metal scrap pile in bad shape but solid. Not very safe with the outlet being non grounded and unprotected. Do you have one that you want to restore also? Almost forgot, there was felt that covered the whole bottom. And I think the lower flat was painted gold too.

@MarkMeadows90 2 года назад

I remember my grandmother having one of these when I was a little boy. Hers was almost the same as that one. Used red and green C9 lights (incandescent). I was always so fascinated by that tree stand. Nicely done!

Oh my goodness, I saw this in my feed and clicked in it so fast I think the time line split. You did a beautiful restoration and the added flakes to the paint is fantastic. I have the exact one, modded in the long past with 40s dome light indicators and dial lamps. I didn't know the center came out as mine is permanently attached. A Wonderful project.

@AcmeRestorations 2 года назад

Thank you so much! Amazing you have the same one. I could only find pictures of a few online; did see one with dome lights though. I bet if you hit that cup with a hammer from underneath it would pop put. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!

@ATonkaTruck 2 года назад

These stands were produced for some time. There are versions that the water well wasn't removable.

@@ATonkaTruckOK, that explains some of the pictures I've seen. Probably older ones didn't.

Здравствуйте,я сразу поняла,что это подставка для елки,очень красивая, у нас таких не было, елку ставили в ведро с мокрым песком чтобы не осыпалась хвоя. С наступающим Новым Годом!

Beautiful restoration! This is exactly the stand I am looking for my Christmas tree. The only thing I would had used Tru-Tone LED bulbs. If memory serves me, they were introduced by USA Lite using C6 bulbs.

@AcmeRestorations 2 года назад

Got em bookmarked. Couldn't get them delivered by Christmas.

@headrushindi 2 года назад

Why don't they make these wonderful things today? That's awesome. Reminds me of all the antique Christmas decorations from the turn of the 20th century that My Grand mother left when she passed. They are now with my elderly Father in Ohio. I will have to make sure they stay with us in the family.

That is the strangest outlet I have ever seen. Excellent restore!

@stevejohnson1685 2 года назад

That was a very old outlet. You'll occasionally find appliances (irons, toasters, etc.) from that time that had two prongs, one perpendicular to the other, supposedly for polarization or to decrease the chances of becoming unplugged accidentally. Now, I wonder why you used a 3-prong outlet, but didn't wire it with a ground. But that's for a different discussion.

@noemifernandez6750 2 года назад

Muy buen trabajo, la verdad que desconocía que existieran ese tipo de soporte.

@floofypurplefluff9924 2 года назад

This is really lovely. It does make me wonder if some gold leaf detailing along the raised floral edges and/or perhaps stenciling along the bottom rim, might really push this piece to the next level. Great job!
