The dangers of asbestos were known long before any of us were born; by the end of the 19th century people were starting to note a connection between exposure and early death, in Britain by the 1920's the danger was officially recognized.
Certainly by the time that box of Christmas fun was made the dangers were well documented... It's still all around us. I came across a guy on ebay the other week selling a 1930's Bakelite hot water bottle. He had included a picture of it dismantled with a lovely 6 inch square of crumbly asbestos inside it. He pointed out what it was but said it would be OK so long as you did not take it apart! |

A safer, traditional option from the past;
Brass clip-on candle holders, with little candles and naked flames on your dried-out xmas tree. What could possibly go wrong?

~ I had one of these kits once upon a time. However, the "snow" wasn't made of asbestos but some sort of creamy stuff that kinda looked like cottage cheese. In fact, maybe that's what it was hahaha! |
