Antique Tri-Color Feather Tree

It always happens this way,

when I least expect to find something good

at an antique show, inevitably I will.

A few weeks ago, I came across this

very rare antique German feather tree at a show.

In 25 years of collecting old Christmas, I've 

only seen one of these before, and that 

one I passed up.

It's only 2' tall, but the feathers

are dyed bright red at the tips, and 

the remaining branches are green and

golden yellow. The little round base

has decals of Dutch children all around it.

My photos don't do it justice,

I have it in a dimly lit corner of the living room

to protect it from light.
