[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 186926, member: 31"]I decided that this would be the year that I sold off my rather large inventory of vintage Christmas ornaments. So far I've only sold 2 boxes. I spend way too much times organizing, etc. It's easy when you have a set with the original box, but I have spent lots of time matching and putting together sets. I also plan on selling big lots of plain balls. Has anyone done that? Is it worth it? Do you send the boxes too? Anyway - I recently got these smaller ornaments. They are nice, but half of them have these flat round caps that say CALI COL on them. I've never heard of CALI COL, and couldn't find anything about them. It looks to me like the caps were just randomly stuck on the ornaments anyway - most of them don't fit - either way too big, or too small. The others have Japan caps on them. The ornaments look Polish or German to me. What do you think? And if you agree that the caps are wrong, is it worth taking them off and replacing them with something more appropriate?
