A corrugated cardboard fireplace....
Submitted by Aunt Sis on Wed, 10/04/2006 - 03:21.
Does anyone remember these? I found it at www.mileskimball.com. You put it together with "tab a into slot b." It's got a "fire" in the fireplace. It's red bricks printed on the cardboard. Inside of the firebox is a C7 bulb that has a silver/metal disk on a metal stake that comes up around the bulb and you put the disk on this "stake." As the bulb gets warm/hot, the metal disk starts to turn. This creates the shadow effect which makes it look like a real fire flickering. We had one when I was a child, because we didn't have a real fireplace, and my father found this, and figured it would do. I can't remember whether it was strong enough to actually hang the stockings from, but you could put christmas cards on it, etc. As soon as I saw it, I remembered it from my childhood, and I just had to have it. At some point in the future, I have ever intention of getting one of the gel fuel fireplaces, but until then, this will have to do. :) For less than $20, you can't go wrong. :)
