MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

We love everything about this 1950's RED ARROW train made by Usagiya, Japan--and featured in a previous auction at Croton's own SeriousToyz.com--the box too!

A great piece of tin litho. Stay tuned for upcoming auction info from SeriousToyz.com

It's followed by a fabulous Easter candy box putz repro by Karl Fey. The colors on this are just so right.

And finally a 1953 publicity still for actress Susan Hayward, who died this date in 1975 from brain cancer. A very talented--and beautiful--lady; read more about her here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Hayward

A collection of vintage made in Japan putz houses with mercury glass beaded roofs and embellishments. You see these quite often but seldom without lots of broken beads and missing sections--the mercury glass was just so fragile. To the reader who asked if anyone was reproducing these today--with faux mercury plastic or resin beads instead--we haven't seen them being made--but this would make a great project!
