MORE EVERYTHING CROTON'S FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC.

--One of our most exciting vintage Christmas finds; a musical celluloid angel created by Constance Spry--some folks call her the Martha Stewart of her time; we have never seen anything like it--and can't find any history on it at all--it's marked "Constance Spry", still works, and judging from the light weight and fragile nature of the plastic angel, we believe it to be early 1950's. It's about a foot high, the base is metal, the arch is more light weight plastic. (Click on the photo). You can find out more about Spry by visiting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_Spry
