The formative years of my best Christmas light memories were in 1966 or 7 in Texas.
The indoor C7 sets had green/red twisted conductors, metal branch clips, fused plugs....and we had the larger C9 set outside on the bushes. Im sure most came from Monkey-Wards. Still have them too.
Staring at a blue GE C7 lamp for what seemed like hours, imagining the tiny paint bubbles were stars in the night sky. A few of the off-shore lamps infiltrated our stock somehow, with thier yellow-metal screw shells, odd colors EXTERNALLY applied to clear lamps. Looked like hell when the paint chipped off.
