1950\'s Space Age Christmas

Stands 76cm In Height

In 1950, the Addis Brush Company patented an aluminum Christmas tree, the Silver Pine, that came with a floodlight and a rotating color wheel.[1] Modern Coatings, Inc. of Chicago manufactured aluminum trees in 1958, and The Aluminum Specialty Company of Manitowoc, Wisconsin manufactured more than a million aluminum trees between 1959 and 1969. The trees, including the company\'s flagship product the \"Evergleam\", retailed for $25.[2] The aluminum tree spectacle could be enhanced with a rotating Christmas tree stand.[3] The futuristic, Space Age look of the trees made them especially suited to the streamlined home decor of the period.[4] Sales of aluminum trees declined after being treated satirically in the 1965 animated Christmas television special, A Charlie Brown Christmas.[5]
