Vintage Paramount Straitline Indoor Christmas Lights Kliptons Box 2 lot Tested For Sale

Up for sale is a Lot of 2 Vintage Paramount Straitline Indoor Lighting Outfits.These highly collectible holiday light strings feature the patented "Kliptons" built-in branch clips and vintage "Green-Cap" sockets on classic twisted red and green insulated cords.🔴 ELECTRICAL & TESTING STATUS (PLEASE READ):

• The Harnesses / Sockets Work: Both light string cords have been fully tested and are electrically functional. Every single socket was verified to pass current by moving all known working bulbs to each line/socket.
• Bulb Condition & Replacement Required: Some of the included bulbs are burned out. Please assume you are buying this lot for the functional cords/sockets and will need to source your own replacement bulbs to complete the sets.

🎨 BULB COLOR & BRAND CLARIFICATION:

• Color Note: All included bulbs are red.
• Originality Disclaimer: These red bulbs are likely NOT the original factory bulbs that came with the boxes (the factory originally packed multi-colored assortments). The boxes indicate they originally shipped with General Electric (GE) Mazda lamps; however, only one non-working bulb in this lot is visibly stamped "GE." The remaining red bulbs are an unverified mix of different vintage brands accumulated over time.

📦 BOX, PATENT & COSMETIC CONDITION:

• Historical Patent Markings: Features the original box markings detailing U.S. Patent No. 2,057,078 for the Kliptons spring branch clips. This specific box artwork and design layout, along with the type of wiring covers, dates this lot back to most likely the mid to late 1950s.
• Box Wear: The original boxes are included but show significant vintage shelf wear, scuffs, tearing, and age-related degradation (please see photos for exact condition details).
• The cords and Bakelite sockets are physically intact.
