In 1929, NOMA issued this box art for the first time, exclusively used to promote their new outside light strings. For some reason, the printing quality for this particular box design was not very good, and it is most often found with rather severely offset and misaligned printing. In addition to the printing alignment problem, the box seems to be more susceptible to fading than most, resulting in weak colors. This is a book style box, and the string contained within uses the then new C-9 outdoor swirl lamps, with the high quality inside color. |
Note: This is an archive of the late Bill Nelson's "Antique Christmas Light" web site as it existed in 2001. Except for contact information, link updates, and some information that has been lost, we have attempted to keep the text and illustrations as Bill presented them. However, the original pages included much outdated HTML code and graphic conventions, so we have done a lot of work "behind the scenes" to bring you this archive. Consequently:
