Collector's Notes

The original National Tinsel packaging gives this lot more context than loose garland, with the maker name, product specifications, tree illustration, and trimming chart all still present.

A six card group suits a vintage Christmas collection, old store stock display, or period holiday decorating setup.

All six cards remain together with the garland still wrapped around them. The surviving price stickers add another bit of period retail detail.

This is a straightforward old stock Christmas lot with the packaging and garland still together.
