SEEKING ALUMINUM CHRISTMAS TREE

I've been reminiscing about my late Aunt's aluminum Christmas tree that had a light that turned a wheel of different colors onto the tree. That was about 50 years ago. Does anyone have that light and tree or know where I might find one for a reasonable price? This is a personal request, I loved that tree. Please contact Jacki Zeigler at 419.341.0429 or at ziggy0703@hotmail.com.  Merry Christmas to everyone.
