It's a Holi-Gay tree that her mother bought in 1960. Her mom told me it caused the first fight in her marriage. He was very upset she spent $25 on a tree when she only made around 220 to 250 a month. :) I am glad she bought it and we can enjoy it. I hope to find a color wheel to pair up with it next time we put it up. All but three of the ornaments are from the tree I grew up with by way of the tree that my mother grew up with, so it's great to mesh the families like this. The train is my sisters that my dad bought for her when she was a kid. It's an LGB Circus train and even plays a few tunes. My friends 4-year old daughter absolutely loved it.
