The manufacturers didn't think of these as being "high quality" items like some of today's big name companies do. That tree is fantastic, as are the tinsel ornaments.

The silver bell ornie is probably from the 50's and the other one probably dates to late 60's early 70's. There is a certain look to the glitter decor on the ones from the 70's.
