Vintage Christmas Tree Stands
My mom's been collecting vintage Christmas goods for decades now. I thought you might enjoy seeing a few of her cast metal Christmas tree stands.
They came in so many sizes and styles, with pine cones and stars being popular motifs. Most were made in either Germany or the USA.
Some have rust and have lost some of their color, but I think that just adds to their charm. This is just of tip of the tree stand iceberg!
