I have some that have that old simple shaped,undecorated cap and wire hoop. I did find the other day a box in the basement that I had bought at Target, and it was shiny brites. I am sure that I bought them in the seventies and they were just the ball shapes. Some of the color is coming off of them. That orange one is marvelous. I have never seen one before now. The indents are so cool. Like them all of course.<br /><br />I have a set, that I haven't blogged about but they have the same hanger on them, but they are antique replicas. I bought them when I was first married '72 and I still have them but they are gold painted shapes, mushroom, house, etc, that look like the antique ones I see in books. They have a rough fake snow on them. I may post them in my side panel for awhile.L.

I was worried that you would receive a box of shattered glass. They look pretty in the picture. I look forward to seeing a picture of them on the big tree next year. Far Guy was so sweet to make the trip out in the cold to get them. Thanks Far Guy!
