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

As always, some wonderful new finds, special requests, oldies but goodies---and more.  Click on the photos and links.

First up, a nifty piece of Japanese train toy tinplate--courtesy of a previous SeriousToyz auction.  It's the “New Cable Train” (Central Line), 1950s, T.N (Nomura), Japan; train is 12”, litho tin b/o (single D) w/ flexible rubber wire ‘track’ that can be laid out in any shape (train will follow); it ran well but was a very poor design-----still neat to look at though!  It's followed by a special request---Howard Lamey's version of the Dolly Co. Balcony House.

SEE THE ORIGINAL, THE PATTERN AND MORE AT THE CARDBOARD CHRISTMAS FORUMS; CLICK HERE.

That's followed by an oldie but goodie and one of our favorite putz houses----again from Howard Lamey---and based on a vintage made in Japan putz house...Ted's 2001 House of the Month to be specific.  

Love Love love the loofa trees!  See more and the original house too--again at the Cardboard Christmas foums: http://bit.ly/29n4TQu

Next, a very young Sean Connery in a Christmas ad for Jim Beam Bourbon and of course starring as James Bond in You Only Live Twice, 1966. 

(By the way, our friends at EFSP have a fab post on the late Connery here.)

And finally, an unused--and still unopened--2015 calendar for A CHRISTMAS STORY--that we discovered in a local thrift shop some time ago---of course, at twenty-five cents, you know this was not left behind!  Again, click on the photos and links.

A fab project for Valentine's Day from PAPER GLITTER GLUE---THE LLAMA CANDY BOX---LOVE---LOVE--LOVE THIS!  SEE IT AND MORE HERE.
