This is a set of 6 delicate, lovely vintage silver paper stars covered in foil. The stars themselves are each about 2” across. The foil on one side is smooth and on the other side is a little crinkled. They hang from a “hook” of coiled paper that is each about 2 ½” long. So the combined star and hanger makes the total size of 4 ½” long.

The foil is slightly nicked, or a little torn, on most of them, but none badly. 2 of the stars have rips, although the star is still intact—the rip on one of the stars is may ½” long and on the other, it’s less than ¼”. All of the hangers are intact. I would characterize them as fragile but still quite usable.

I don’t know their precise age. They remind me of other foil-covered paper ornaments that I’ve seen that were made in Japan in the 1950s, but I’m not sure if that’s their origin. There is no maker’s mark.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Jenkintown, Pa.
