vintage 1959 Westinghouse Decro-Lite Permacote C-7 candelabra base Christmas lights. They all work and are in the original packages. These are rare because they were only manufactured for one season. See them here https://www.flickr.com/photos/markdpodm ... otostream/

They are beautiful. Would you describe the finish as being like the "ceramic" finishes of the era?

They are the ceramic finish Paul, same as the solid color GE/Westinghouse of the day.

A friend of mine is experimenting with some enamel paints for ceramic to see if she can achieve a similar effect....
