THE LIGHT SETS- PICTURE AND INFORMATION GALLERIES

This page is the gateway to pictures and information about many of the Christmas lighting sets that were produced over the years covered by this website. The pages are divided according to approximate production years and are organized into four sections: 1900-1920, 1920-1930, 1930-1940 and 1940-1950. My collection and information does not extend much beyond 1950, but the timeline pages have a bit of information on post-1950 lighting products. I hope you find the information useful. Please use the links below to explore the categories of your choice. Bubble lights are located in the 1940-1950 section, which also includes an additional link to a "History of Bubble Lights" page. Matchless Stars are located in the 1930-1940 section, which includes a link to the history of these beautiful lights as well. There is a lot of information in each of the next sections, and as always, please feel free to e-mail me for more information or help. Enjoy your visit!
