The people in Germany used real silver. This silver was then pulled out into wafer thin strips for tinsel by the machines that were invented. The silver that was used was long lasting but when used with candlelight flecked quickly. The people then found it best to use a mixture of both lead and tin. Gradually this too was not so sensible as it was heavy and tended to break under its own weight. The people continued to use silver until the 20th century.
