I do have a cardborad holder with shiny brite printed all over it. I think it hold 12 balls. I just ran across in a collectors book that shared about the German kobel ornaments. That was new info for me. I don't go to antique shops so I can't even be considered a collector. I did see old ones in an antique store, in a jar,in Grand Marais 12 years ago. I didn't buy anything. I really like your collection. L.
