Note: This model appears in the 1913 Alexanderwerk catalog. The model lacks a water reservoir as the tradition at the time was to harvest the tree December 24th to decorate and was taken down shortly after new year. Feather trees, the forerunner to artificial trees were also popular at this time and used in stands like this one.
