Aluminium Trees
From 1959 to 1969, more than 1 million aluminum trees, mainly
the flagship tree called Evergleam, were produced by Aluminum
Specialty Company, of Manitowic, Wis.
The trees were made using a thin painted wooden trunk with holes
drilled into it at angles. When the branches made of colored
aluminum foil were placed in the holes, they formed a tree
shape.
