Christmas Tree Disco Ball Light



In the 1970's, it was all about the colors and the lights!  This gold star tree-topper flickered red, gold, and green from a revolving light behind a pebbled-glass lens.  

As the light inside the faceted globe turned around, it made colorful shapes and patterns on the wall (similar to the last picture above).

It was like a 'disco-ball' for your Christmas Tree!  And, of course, it topped the everlasting fake tree: After all, it was the era of plastic and polyester...  Merry 70's Christmas!!
