With December getting closer every minute (obviously), I am giving Wacky Pack Wednesday a well deserved vacation for the rest of the year. In its place, I bring you "Gurley Wednesday." For anyone unfamiliar with Gurley candles, you can read a brief history here when I posted a couple of Easter candles. If you want a detailed history, check out Wikipedia.
Ninety-nine percent of these candles I inherited from from grandmother, and about ninety percent of those were purchased by my mother to give to her mother in the 1950s.
Enough groundwork, I give you Gurley candle #1:
This was always one of my favorites. Notice Rudolph is wearing Santa's hat? Cute.
And as I have said before-- these original prices just kill me!
Enjoy!
Love these old candles :) I saw the church steeple one as well.
