Dan-Dee Imports Blinking Christmas Bell
I remember back in the 1960s, during one of the holiday seasons late in the decade...maybe 1967 or 1968...my mom used a bunch of S&H Green Stamps to purchase this blinking Christmas bell. The bell appeared in one of the Green Stamp company's catalogs. We kids were fascinated by the red and green stars, lit from within, flashing in the dark to signal Christmas was coming. As I recall, the bell looked great when it was working, but it often conked out and did not light at all. Eventually the bell disappeared, but I found this pristine vintage one online a few years ago. Funny thing...it flashes for a time, then stops, just like the one we had before.
