Sultana Felt Ornament Kits
Sultana appears to have been out of business for many years, Sultana kits are approximately the same age as the older bucilla kits, primarily around the late 70s. I have not been able to find any information about what ever happened to Sultana as a company, however they appear to be long out of business. There are, however, some kits that are nearly identical that have been produced by both Bucilla and Sultana, so there is some question as to whether there could have been some sort of merger or buy-out.
The quality of the Sultana kits is quite good, the 100% Polyester felt is particularly nice to work, because of its smoother more consistent texture, in the kits that come with such. The quality is equal to the Bucilla kits of similar age, and it would be very difficult to tell ornaments from the two brands apart without seeing the packaging.

The Bucilla kit appears to contain two ornaments not in the Sultana kit, a ball ornament, and a bell ornament. The other ornaments all appear to be made fro the same kit parts. |
