  • 1930S Christmas Tree Stand
    1930s Christmas Tree Stand Today, Christmas revelers living in town and out in the country alike decorate their homes with electric Christmas lights as part of the holiday celebrations whether the lights decorate bushes, trees, railings, or eaves on the outside of the house or strands are strung around an indoor Christmas tree. During the 1930s, however, when the Christmas tree stand pictured here was manufactured, many rural families in Johnson County and around the country were just beginning to experience the advantages of having electricity in their home. Thanks to rural electric cooperatives and the availability of federal funds in 1935 to help electrify rural areas, the 1930s brought electricity to rural America. This meant more and more families could take advantage of electric lights, tools, appliances, and yes even Christmas decorations. Before a house had electricity, Christmas trees were lighted with candles. Because of the fire danger, the candles were lit only sporadically when the tree was watched by family members and for many that meant the tree was lit only on Christmas Eve. Once the electric wires came, families quickly switched from candles to electric lights on their trees. In addition, Christmas ornament manufacturers took advantage of the accessibility of electricity to more families by developing all sorts of new electric Christmas products like this cast iron stand which was patented in 1933. The bronze colored stand has features which had been standard to tree stands since they were first commercially produced in the 1870s. There is a reservoir for water for the tree in the base which in this stand looks like it might hold about a quart of water.
