I was lucky enough to find four canadian figural vintage christmas bulbs at a garage sale. Two totem poles, one Indian chief and a beaver. I saw the totem pole on Pinterest. It said from Japan C7. Do I have something here? Thank you for your time.

-----------------

I haven't seen these myself, so my first reaction is that they're pretty unusual, but I have a Canadian friend, Fred Fox, who runs a vintage Christmas decoration store on Etsy - Noellkat.

I've added him to my reply. Fred may be able to answer your question better than I.

Thanks for getting in touch - Paul

The Japanese milk glass figural lamps mentioned above belong to the NOMA of Canada Canadiana Set 1955. Lamps included in this set were a Totem Pole, Indian Chief, Indian Women, Eskimo, Beaver, Canadian Mountie and, an Indian Chief with Headdress not shown in my set. A short lived NOMA of Canada only production set making lamps and box extremely hard to come by.
