Even as an antique dealer I kind of hated going to those huge antique shows. Aisle after aisle, at a certain point my eyes just glaze over and I am semi-comatose just wanting to 'finish' out of stubbornness. One year I just stumbled into a friend's booth in a daze. I must have looked like I had combat crawled all the way there, for he took pity on me. Knowing how nuts I am about Christmas ornaments, he simply gave me this amazing Space Man ornament. He is one of my very favorite ornaments.
It is an annealed glass ornament from the early 1950's. Most of this type were from Italy at that time. He is about 6 inches long, kind of an iridescent white. Don't worry, he comes in peace - even if he looks kind of threatening with that raygun and buckteeth.
