Do you remember Christmas angel chimes? These little chime sets were brass. They had lots of little pieces that needed to be put together each year. (I loved doing this as a little girl!) Once you put the set together, the candles provided heat that caused the little angels to spin. This was an annual part of Christmas during my childhood - I still have my angel chimes. I found a magazine advertisement for the chime sets, although I recall them being sold at dimestores and local stores.
I also found a video to share with you, showing the chimes in action (below). Do you remember these? I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
Yes! My mother had a set that had belonged to her mother. I found them online a few years ago and ordered sets for my sisters and parents. Still love lighting them up over the holidays and listening to the gentle chimes.

Samantha, thanks for visiting! I still love these chimes too. How neat that you found some online and shared chimes with your family members! - Trish
I just bought one I think it’s so pretty in the box and all parts. And got it out to look at.
How neat! What a great find.
