If you love vintage Christmas ornaments, Jody uses over 70 ornaments to showcase the hard to find World war II era glass bulbs. Watch the design transform from shiny and silvered glass bulbs to plain with tinsel. When metal becomes scarce in 1944, cardboard rescues Christmas tree ornaments. Featuring both Corning glass bulbs and Premier Glass ornaments, the video has an inspired opening and a sincere thank you. This is Jody's eighth video, be sure and subscribe so you don't miss what she shows next time.

Didn’t realize what we had until I watched your informative video. The ornaments were my husband’s grandmother. They hang on our Christmas Tree every year.❤️ Now I know the history of them. Thank-you.😃

The war year ornaments are becoming even more scarce. Merry Christmas.

“Collect what you like.” Good advice.👍🏼

@jodypritzl8250 7 месяцев назад

I sincerely believe that philosophy. I have pristine ornaments and scruffy little baubles that just needed a home.

@rjc7289 Год назад

As somebody who's been collecting vintage SB's for a few years now, it never fails to amaze me how reasonably priced they are on the 2nd-hand collectors' market. Maybe it's because Corning cranked out tens of millions of them back in the day. Who knows. All I do know is I love the visual aesthetic of those old ornaments. They have a certain character to them that's lacking with modern ornaments.

@jodypritzl8250 Год назад

For me, it is about the feel. How an ornament feels in my hand and how it makes me feel happy.

It blows my mind that something so fragile has survived throughout the years. I love the history behind them and have really started collecting mid-century Christmas. Thank you again for doing your homework and sharing what you have learned!

Hi - This info is very helpful, and I loved hearing all the facts and seeing all your beauties. I've just bought a box of ornaments with some newer tinsel. But I'm not sure if the ornaments are original or newer (recently painted). Would you have any insight on how to recognize original vs. newly created? Would there be a way to send you/post some photos? Thank you so much!

What's the best and safest way to clean vintage ornaments without damaging the finish?

@jodypritzl8250 Год назад

Luke, hold it gently and use a fan brush to wipe away the dust. Other than that, think of each blemish as resiliency and testimony to survival.

@kimwilliams3777 2 года назад

Awesome information Jody. Always love your videos. How can you tell a Corning versus Premier cap on an ornament since both are made in the USA?

@jodypritzl8250 2 года назад

Kim, Thanks for the question and I'll be sure to cover the cap close up in a video. Early Premier caps were stamped with Premier then the company changed to a very specific style of cap with a plain round circumference with elongated straight springs. If you watch the Premier video starting at about 4:39 you can see the caps. Hope that helps, my to-do list grows longer. Merry Christmas.

@darinkuna9823 9 месяцев назад

Hi, do you have any videos showing how the stripes were painted on the ornaments or could you explain how?

@jodypritzl8250 9 месяцев назад

You know, sometimes you think you've repeated yourself five times and then realize, nope, you need to say more. I have alluded to Otto Kohler and his patented decorating methods in Tinsel Beauties and War Years Ornaments but haven't gone into enough detail. I'll work on that for an upcoming video. Thanks for your interest to learn more. Merry Christmas.

@fanorama1 Год назад

When did Holly brand glass ornaments enter the scene?

@jodypritzl8250 Год назад

Luke, kinda complicated. B.Wilmsen Company was one of the first vendors to Woolworth's selling tinsel and ornaments. In about 1965, the Wilmsen family sold the firm and it ended up with Trim-A-Tree products who used the Holly name. So you'll likely find the B.Wilmsen name with the Holly brand. If you're talking about Holly Jolly, well that's another story.

@laurensouthgate2458 Год назад

Were ornaments ever signed.

@jodypritzl8250 Год назад

My opinion is rarely was an ornament signed. Shiny Brite did sell an ornament personalization kit which may have been signed by the person who made it but that would be a one-off. In talking with Philip Franke of the Franke family, the only signed ornaments were ones that were given to family members. If you have a signed ornament send me a picture through booksbyjody.com. Thanks for watching Lauren and Merry Christmas.

An option is to donate the ornaments to a local library or museum for a Christmas display and then share stories of the ornaments and their history. Merry Christmas.
