***Quick note: Please keep in mind this item is coming from NZ and may take 7-14+ business days to arrive.
(expedited shipping can be arranged as well. If you’d like more info on that, keep scrolling to the bottom or shoot me a message!) The tree will need to be assembled, which is very easy to do. It will also be arriving in a small-ish box as they compact down very tightly.
Description: Beautiful, sparkly vintage green Christmas tree. The tree is from New Zealand, most likely from the N.Z. Tinsel Limited Company, which was established in Auckland in 1959. Approx. 72” tall x 28” wide. (in the picture with the tree skirt, I have sitting on a small box which is a great way to give it a little more height if desired)

Condition: Overall good vintage condition. The stand is a little squirrely, but it works. Trees this size usually had the larger aluminum stands, but this one looks like the smaller types that are usually with the 4’ trees. Maybe it got switched somewhere down the line. You have to make sure all 3 hinges are tightly against the trunk and then rotate the tree if it’s leaning off center.
Some of the branches may be snug or slightly loose in the wooden holes, but they all fit! Branches can me molded into the positions desired. Some may be slightly crooked, but can be bent back if needed. Some branches might have the tinsel slightly smushed in patches. Tinsel bits to be expected at the bottom of the box. Tree trunk may lean slightly at first, but the center poles can be rotated until it balances. The wooden poles fit together, but you may have to twist the dowels in if it’s a snug fit. Please note this is vintage tinsel, not aluminum metal (the stand is aluminum).
Vintage disclosure: Any major flaws will be noted, but please view pictures carefully & keep in mind these are vintage items and are expected to have time-worn flaws which give them character.
Well done, you! By shopping vintage, you are keeping items out of landfills, creating less waste, supporting a small business and adding a unique item to your home!
Shipping options:
I cover the cost of economy shipping, which can sometimes take up to 14+ business days to arrive. It is also not fully tracked.
If you’d like it fully tracked and arriving at an estimated 7 business days, it would probably be around an extra $30 USD added to the price of the tree. If you’d like it there in under 7 business days it would be around $70 USD.
(Disclaimer! These are just some general numbers to give you a rough idea. It will vary depending on the size of the tree and what country you are in. The arrival days are just estimates and are not gaurentees. I unfortunately have no control of how long an item is held in customs, but it usually isn’t too bad! :)
