Are these old?

I bought these yesterday at a garage sale for $1.00 but I can't tell if they're old-any ideas on how to decide?

  1. They do look old but I'm not sure how to tell. They are really beautiful and will look great on your tree:)

  7. I was really interested to see the comments you got on this. My take is not old. Unless the pine cones are. That's possible. The pine cone style never changes. The tops tell more than anything else will. The spirals, my gut says no. Probably no older than the 1980's. Which is old to some and Etsy says it's vintage. LOL But they're all pretty. Age doesn't always matter. I've been collecting old ornaments for, gosh, 20 year or more, and still have a hard time putting an age on some. Especially pine cones. ;-)
