We had one. It came with a light that shined through a transparent plastic multi color wheel. The wheel had an electric motor that rotated it slowly.

It’s crazy how most of these have vanished now. I’ve only seen like two places that still sell aluminum trees (new ones at least).

Proof that those crazy Christmas trees were everywhere…(and I thought they were just an American thing).

Aluminum trees were very popular until the Charlie Brown Christmas tv special aired:
>>Charlie Brown’s insistence on purchasing a real tree and disparagement of the aluminum Christmas tree practically eliminated the popularity of the aluminum tree, which was a fad at the time of the special. By 1967, they were no longer being regularly manufactured, to the point that most modern viewers of the special are unfamiliar with this type of artificial tree.

The tree is beautiful but only a few bulbs!
we found pics of my Mom with all her sisters and brother around the large aluminum tree, beautiful pic ,guess the 60’s were big on this type of tree
I like it. It’s time for aluminum trees to make a comeback.
