Antique Christmas collection evokes history of the holiday

Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/21/2022 - 14:40

Brandon Brockway and wife Lisa have a collection of antique Christmas items dating from the 1880s into the early 1900s. Santa Claus features prominently in the collection. One can see the evolution of the figure over time, from a skinnier curmudgeon to the fat, jolly man now depicted in popular culture. (Contributed photos)

It takes the couple two days to decorate their Harpers Ferry home, starting in mid-November. The displays remain up into January.

Brockway has a variety of ornaments. His collection begins in the 1880s because items—including Christmas decor—became mass produced and more readily available at that time. Previously, people decorated with dried fruit and more natural, homemade items that did not last.

The Brockways also collect antique dolls and other toys, which feature in the holiday displays. “It seems like antique toys and dolls lend themselves to the Christmas period because that’s when kids would have received these items,” said Brandon Brockway. They are pictured in front of a German feather tree, one of the first artificial Christmas trees.

This display showcases some "newer" items, including bubble lights. Sometimes, the original packaging is just as unique as the ornaments inside. The box on the right, for example, is from World War II and depicts Uncle Sam and Santa Claus shaking hands.
