So much to show you today. First, a rare find indeed: the 1939 Fisher Price Pinocchio pull-toy, courtesy of our friend Frank.
It's followed by one of our favorite putz house creations from Howard Lamey: the mini mansion....love everything about this one--especially the colors. For more of Howard's work, visit
