Each star is handmade by an Amish family who makes them during "off times" from farm and garden work. They use recycled tin from barns and outbuildings in the area and employ old-fashioned construction methods. Yes, I know that's a lot of old tin, but I've seen it - and it's true! I've purchased from members of this family for more than 10 years.
Please remember, the stars are handmade by individuals, not produced in a large or sophisticated operation. Therefore, items may vary a little in color, rusting, paint coverage and condition of tin. Most have variations in paint coverage and some even arrive with a little dirt on them. The family paints much of the tin before constructing the stars -- that's the way we get the "designer" colors. PHOTOS ARE REPRESENTATIONS ans will vary to some extent from the star you actually receive. If you want "cookie cutter perfect, these stars may not be for you.
Stars have a metal "tab" across the back of one point for hanging. Bolts are included for the larger sizes (42" and 6 ft.) to make assembly quite easy. If I don't have the size/color combination that you want in stock, I will be happy to order it for you. No extra charge.
Please confirm shipping cost with me if it sounds excessive - the shipping calculator does not always figure shipping cost correctly when more than one star is ordered.
NOTE: Generally out of stock items can be ordered for you for no additional charge.
