Prominently reading Each Lamp Burns Individually, this packaging represents the era when parallel wiring changed holiday decorating!  **Because vintage lights run hot by design, they require careful handling to avoid accidental fire or burn hazards. Buyer assumes all responsibility for use risk of item**  Set sold strictly AS-IS for collector display. Perfect addition to any antique holiday collection or a retro holiday display!  This specific Radiant 25-light decorative outfit packaging was produced between 1939 and 1941 just prior to and at the very beginning of World War II.  Parallel Wiring Shift: Prominently printing Each lamp burns individually on the box became a massive selling point in the late 1930s to distinguish parallel-wired strings from older, frustrating series-wired strings (where one dead bulb ruined the whole strand).  War-Time Disruption: Production of civilian Christmas lighting outfits like this ceased entirely by mid-1942, as manufacturing factories were converted to support military efforts during WWII. When production resumed post-war in 1946, styles rapidly shifted toward thicker plastic wiring and completely redesigned, more modern box
