I had gorgeous wax bells also, which I haven't even been able to find photos of. Yes, scouring thrift stores a bazaars, which there are none right now, are the best for ornaments.

I did see a box full online in a Tavern box. Since they were made out East, I would assume they would be available at least there and the Midwest for sure, through the dimestores and some department stores. We had Woolworth's, Benjamin Franklin, and Kresge's dimestores here, it might depend on the chains of those dimestores in your area? Can you imagine they went for under a dime in some places each.
