A scarce boxed set of one dozen circa 1954 Twinklers Christmas spinner ornaments. They're motion activated by the heat from tree light bulbs (you hang them over or below a bulb), making the metal pinwheel piece inside spin and twirl. The plastic neon pink, blue, and chartreuse yellow glittered bird cage or carousel shaped spinners are about 3 inches tall. They have no chips or cracks, though two have slight distortion on the scalloped bottom edge from contact with a hot light bulb (last photo). There are four of each color.

The box has some wear and a taped corner. I believe the lid had a perforated pop-out that is missing. The spinner ornaments were made in the USA by Tinkle Toy Company of Youngstown Ohio and guaranteed vintage.

See my other listings for hundreds of antique and vintage Christmas items. I'm happy to combine shipping. I charge only 25 cents US handling for packing materials: new peanuts, bubble wrap, etc. and I refund all shipping overpayments on multiple item purchases.


Rest assured that after years of buying, selling, and collecting vintage ornaments, I have learned how to pack them safely. I know how heartbreaking it can be to hear that awful tinkling when your package arrives and find nothing but shards inside. Your purchases will be carefully packed with no skimping on materials to survive just about any drop, kick or fall the postal service can dish out.





Almost all my items are antique or vintage and come from a variety of sources. I cannot guarantee that any item is from a smoke-free or pet-free home.
