Diner Ornament
by Old World Christmas

From Old World Christmas. Diners often stay open 24 hours a day, especially in cities, making them an essential part of urban culture. Styling was borrowed from railroad dining cars, hence the term "diner." Diners are symbols of American optimism and represent the period of prosperity in the 1950s. With a checkerboard pattern on the outside and that classic train car shape, this glass diner ornament looks just like the real thing.
