Hi duck,
         Almost all "metallized" trees are now made of coated Mylar, not
aluminum foil. The Al foil tends to crush easily, the plastic doesn't. They're
probably as hard to find as the real foil "icicles" . I saw one of the real
1960s Al trees go at an estate sale for $250+ last year. You may have to
scrounge yard sales, they've become collectibles!
