RAUCH INDUSTRIES,INC.

Posted on July 24, 2009 by gmastree

Former North Carolina state Sen. Marshall Rauch founded Rauch Industries in 1952
as a thread manufacturer. Seeking alternative uses for thread, company officials
came up with the idea of wrapping thread around Styrofoam balls to make satin
ornaments. Eventually, they bought equipment and silver paint and got into the
glass ornament business.  They claim to be the oldest existing domestic
manufacturer of Christmas ornaments.

Rauch Satin Ornaments

Rauch’s products include ornamental glass balls, soft goods such as tree skirts
and stockings, and seasonal home decor items. The company sells its products to
leading domestic merchandisers such as Wal-Mart, Inc., Target, Lowes, Walgreens
and other leading drug stores, supermarkets, specialty retailers, department
stores and holiday catalogues. The company’s corporate headquarters are located
in Gastonia, North Carolina with a distribution facility in Chester, South
Carolina.  In the past 5 years, they acquired the Christopher Radko brand and
currently produce several lines under this brand name.

24 RESPONSES TO RAUCH INDUSTRIES,INC.

 1.  Connie says:

     Thanks for this information. I don’t know when Corning Glass was making
     Shiny Brite ornaments but it was at the end of World War II for sure.
     
     I did not know that Rausch produced those satin ornament for the aluminum
     trees. Interesting!
     
     Nowadays, I think they primarily manufacture in China except for the Radko
     line.

     Corning started producing ribbon blown glass balls in the 1930s, I believe.
     Shiny Brite certainly produced ornaments well before 1952, when Rauch
     started business. However, Shiny Brite (Eckhardt) isn’t in business
     currently, so perhaps Rauch’s claim has something to it.

     Does your company open up to the public for a sale before Christmas?

       We no longer have a retail location. We did a Christmas in July shop for
       a few years here in Long Beach. But the online business took off and it
       is enough to keep up with it. Thanks so much for asking.

     I found several old ornaments in my mothers attic. I was wondering if I
     should hang on to the. I have one box with the name of Pyramid across the
     front and Rausch Industries at the end. I have 3 other boxes that are
     called shiny brite. What do you think I ought to do with them?
     
     
     * gmastree says:
       June 15, 2012 at 1:24 am
       
       Keep them in their original boxes and move them from the attic to a more
       climate controlled location. The ups and downs of temperature loosen the
       paint and make it peel away. The Shiny Brite brand is currently
       increasing in demand, due no doubt to Christopher Radko’s line of Shiny
       Brite reproduction ornaments. The Pyramid and Rausch brands are less well
       known, but also were large producers of glass ornaments in their day. Use
       them on your tree and enjoy them!
       If you choose not to keep them, I do buy ornaments. Contact me and we’ll
       see what develops.

     Back in the late 1980’s, I believe, I bought a box of 4 bell shaped
     Christmas ornaments called (or from) the Victoria Collection. They were
     red, green, blue, and gold. Sadly, the gold coloured bell got broke, and I
     was wondering if Rauch Industries still makes these ornaments (BTW, they
     sound almost like bells if you tap your fingernail on them). I will be
     grateful if I can buy the same set of these ornaments.
     
     
     * gmastree says:
       June 15, 2012 at 1:29 am
       
       I remember that line of ornaments, sold in local stores everywhere. I’d
       do a search on eBay and then save it and set up an email notification so
       that you’ll get an email when a listing is made with the keywords you
       enter. (I’d suggest, Christmas,ornament,bell,glass,Victoria
       Collection,Rauch or some combination thereof. Try the various words to
       see which give you the most accurate lists)

     I use to purchase christmas ornament balls by the case from Rauch
     Industries for my painting business. Can I still purchase these?

         I have several boxes of old pyramid brand and Holly brand glass ball
         Christmas ornaments. I was wondering what they may be worth. All in
         excellent condition and in original boxes.
         
         
         * gmastree says:
           February 26, 2013 at 6:28 am
           
           The current market for these brands is lower than one might hope for.
           Period Pyramid satin ornaments have a small (hopefully rising)
           market, but the offerings of Holly brand ornaments that I’ve put up
           on eBay this past Christmas season are still sitting on my shelves.
           However, condition is important and you’d do well to preserve them as
           they are.

     This summer I bought a bag of old ornaments. Three of them are labelled
     rausch . They are silver with a white leaf like design that wraps around
     the bulbs and glittered. What can you tell me about them?

     Recently discovered Rauch purchased the Radko brand. I was told the new
     Radko ornaments are produced in China. I hope that’s incorrect information.
     Where are the ornaments produced under the Rauch name?

     While cleaning out my moms attic I found a box that contains a wire tree
     with ornaments from Rauch Industries. The Item # CT5996-RB2 Do you know
     anything about this item? It also has QVC on it.

       I’m afraid that I am not familiar with all the items made by Rauch. You
       might Google the name and product number and see what you find.

     Ohh, I just saw it is the Tracy Porter Collection.

     I sure hope this is still an active site. Pyramid use to make the satin
     wrapped ornaments. Some of the old ones are being resold online but the
     sources are drying up so the prices are very high now. Do you know any
     companies that make these satin wrap ornaments for decorating? I cannot
     find stores online that sell new ones. Thanks for your time.

       I haven’t seen any new plain satin wrapped ornaments for a few years.
       Hallmark Keepsake still puts out satin wrapped sleeved ornaments, I
       believe. I find the supply of satin wrapped ornaments in thrift stores to
       be fairly plentiful here on the West Coast.

     We had several glass ornaments from the 12 Days of Christmas collection
     manufactured by Rauch break this year. They were a gift from Grandma and we
     wanted to replace them if we could. Any ideas?
     
     
     * gmastree says:

       So sorry. My best advice is to search the used markets. ebay,Amazon,Etsy
       would be my picks. You can also do an image search on Google, find the
       ornament you are looking for and follow those links. I wish you success
       in your hunt.
