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

Rapture, we've always wanted one of these--a Flexible Flyer sled from the late 40's early 50's, found at a tag sale today for three dollars. Yes, three dollars. We've visions of restoring it within reason--not for sledding--more for effect--as part of a vintage Christmas vignette this year.  First however, what remains of the decals must be stabilized and some of the rust cleaned up--stay tuned.  Click on the photo. For our purposes, it will be a beaut.

P.S. And at the same tag sale we found a batch of 1960's Life and Look magazines for a quarter a piece--and rapture again--no mold, no waterlogged pages--almost as good as the day they were printed. Stay tuned.
