This isn’t quite a snowflake in the traditional sense of the world, but I believe that’s what it’s meant to be. The center is a 6-petal flower shape with teardrops surrounding it. The sides are red foil paper and the insides are clear cellophane strips folded to fan out within each piece. It’s very cool.

It’s not symmetrical, but it’s about 7” around. It is very lightweight and has a piece of thread for hanging.

Some of the cellophane was loose so I glued it back. Some of the glue is visible from the back.

It comes in a box but I don’t know if the box is the original.

From the 1950s.
