Christmas Blowmold

Sears have the candles in their Christmas catalog from 1960-1964 and Spiegel have them from 1961-1969. I do not have the 1960 Spiegel catalog so I do not know if they had the candles that year.
To answer your question, yes, they do predate the true blow molds but they were also made for several years after the first holiday blow molds were made.

Yep, they’re back. I swear that I didn’t knock Joseph over. He was like that when I found him. Must have been the wind. An “act of God” you might say.
My mother-in-law set out the blow-mold nativity last week complete with automatic timer. She must have changed the bulbs in them cause the first night they switched on I thought that we were being raided by the FBI. After I remembered that we didn’t have any drugs to flush, I squinted through the blinds and beheld the plastic family in all their glory.
This year, I can’t judge my mother-in-law, though. I am now the proud owner of a fiber-optic christmas tree. Yes, that gloriously tacky ’60’s throw-back is displayed proudly in my living room. It’s only about 3 feet tall and it is green, not white or, heaven forbid, pink.
