I had the exact tree stand as that for 20 years. I restored it and donated to a raffle. It's only for tabletop sized trees because it holds so little water. Very cool because I've never seen another until now!

Was yours painted like that also? Did the green color go beyond the raised edges?

@@moxee33 I think I remember it that way, like it wasn't real precise. I found it in a metal scrap pile in bad shape but solid. Not very safe with the outlet being non grounded and unprotected. Do you have one that you want to restore also? Almost forgot, there was felt that covered the whole bottom. And I think the lower flat was painted gold too.

I remember my grandmother having one of these when I was a little boy. Hers was almost the same as that one. Used red and green C9 lights (incandescent). I was always so fascinated by that tree stand. Nicely done!

Здравствуйте,я сразу поняла,что это подставка для елки,очень красивая, у нас таких не было, елку ставили в ведро с мокрым песком чтобы не осыпалась хвоя. С наступающим Новым Годом!

I don't know that there was a disposityve this in 1927. This is fantastic !! Awesome !! Tks.

Never even knew these things existed! Amazing!! Lovely job. ❤️

VERY cool! I wish they still made these, they're genius!

I can think of at least three ways it can burn your house down.. I think it might be for the best they have stopped..

Oh my goodness, I saw this in my feed and clicked in it so fast I think the time line split. You did a beautiful restoration and the added flakes to the paint is fantastic. I have the exact one, modded in the long past with 40s dome light indicators and dial lamps. I didn't know the center came out as mine is permanently attached. A Wonderful project.

Thank you so much! Amazing you have the same one. I could only find pictures of a few online; did see one with dome lights though. I bet if you hit that cup with a hammer from underneath it would pop put. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!

One of my favorite restorations. I never knew I need one of those. 😍

I have one of these in my barn. It has never been restored. I’ve had it many years

I would be terrified to put a real tree in that stand but I can see why it would be so popular

Beautiful!

Love this so much. I’ve never seen a light up stand. It’s wonderful and your restoration was fantastic.

Прекрасная вещь. Однако, считаю, что винты нужно было оставить оригинальные.

Why don't they make these wonderful things today? That's awesome. Reminds me of all the antique Christmas decorations from the turn of the 20th century that My Grand mother left when she passed. They are now with my elderly Father in Ohio. I will have to make sure they stay with us in the family.

Awww that’s beautiful!

What a beautiful tree stand! Puts all those tree skirts to shame!

Beautiful restoration! This is exactly the stand I am looking for my Christmas tree. The only thing I would had used Tru-Tone LED bulbs. If memory serves me, they were introduced by USA Lite using C6 bulbs.

at first I thought it was a ceiling light...have never seen a tree stand like this down under ever..it wasn't until I saw the old plug being replaced that I realised that it was a tree stand with the ability to plug Xmas lights into the base..nice restore..

This turned out nice. Well done. Happy holidays.

This is really lovely. It does make me wonder if some gold leaf detailing along the raised floral edges and/or perhaps stenciling along the bottom rim, might really push this piece to the next level. Great job!

Pretty cool

Very Beautiful...

@stevejohnson1685

That was a very old outlet. You'll occasionally find appliances (irons, toasters, etc.) from that time that had two prongs, one perpendicular to the other, supposedly for polarization or to decrease the chances of becoming unplugged accidentally. Now, I wonder why you used a 3-prong outlet, but didn't wire it with a ground. But that's for a different discussion.

I’m such a fan!! Your work is SO great 😊 thanks for the inspiration :) I’ll be restoring stuff myself soon. I LOVE THAT

In other videos that I've watched by other creators they check for lead paint to keep them safe. I hope you were safe. Great job on your project.

Excellent restoration, enjoyed it very much. Would have made 2small changes. #1 i would have upgraded the wire from 18 gauge to 16 gauge wire. #2 i would have put a small on/off switch near the outlet plug. Please keep up the good restoration work. Thanks

@AcmeRestorations

I haven't found anyone who manufactures a retro lamp cord in 16 gauge. Probably because lamp cords are almost universally 18 gauge. Combined with the fact that we've moved to LED lights, 16 gauge would be an inconvenient overkill. I was drawing less an 2 amps WITH the tree lights plugged into the base. That's total for the whole tree.
