I love the bright, shiny green color of this vintage Mutto Mfg Safe-T-Tree Metal Christmas Tree Stand from Canton OH and the graphics on the original shipping carton are fun as well. The box indicates -
The Safest, The Best, The Simplest
*Holds one gallon of water...
*Keeps trees fresh and green...

This is an unadorned metal painted stand and has a very retro look to it. I think it would awesome to use with your Christmas tree this year - add that MCM vibe to your décor!

The opening for the tree truck measures approx. 4" round, and three eye-bolt screws with nuts are used to secure the tree. There is a hole on the back side to allow for watering the tree. It does seem to hold water and has been used for that purpose as it is very rusty inside. The bottom is painted bright red.

There are very few blemishes on the stand. The green paint is still quite bright and free of significant scratches and dents. The eye-bolt screws are original and are no longer straight and have rust on their surface. If you were going to use it, new eye-bolt screws would make a lot of sense!

The box has corner ruffles and storage dirtiness. The original shipping tag from the S.S. Kresge Co. adds to the retro charm. The imagery is still good on the box on both sides. There may have been some slight water damage to the box at one point due to the staining on the outside of the cardboard.

Dimensions:

Box - 17 1/2" x 16 1/2" x 7 3/4"
Stand - 16 1/2" Round x 7" High with a 4” opening for the tree.
