MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS. ETC FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

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

If you are a paid member of The Golden Glow of Christmas Past, you'll be able to read an article by Pete Oehmen: The History of the Putz Village--content is for members only; here's the link https://goldenglow.org/2014/12/21/history-putz-village/ 

For those of you looking for plastic stand-ups to inhabit your putz villages, TINY THINGS ARE CUTE has two you may have an interest in; don't know how long the links will be around:

--tiny sheep on stands http://www.tinythingsarecute.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_18&products_id=1793 

An oldie but goodie: 

Santa’s Christmas village - We know some people who will really like this one! This is a rare, out-of-print, cut-and-make Christmas Village, originally published by Whitman in 1975 in a punch-out book. https://archive.org/details/SantasChristmasVillage
