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

Another great wartime Santa Claus for Chesterfield Cigarettes; circa 1942. Click on the photo. A great find from The Cornelia Cotton Gallery, 111 Grand St., 271-6802.

Connie's recent newsletter reminded us that there are some classic Christmas commercials out there--and we get to see them again courtesy of YouTube:

-REMEMBER GLASS WAX STENCILS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB28fvRqg4s
-HOOVER! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UAd7vMgc9k

So worth looking at again: Howard Lamey's Father Christmas and the Yule Log http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=332

And of course, NORAD will be tracking Santa this year:  http://www.noradsanta.org/

EVEN MORE GREAT VINTAGE TOYS FROM THE UPCOMING 2014 SERIOUSTOYZ AUCTION! http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2013/12/even-more-vintage-toys-another.html

A simply glorious old Christmas photo with all the bells and whistles, circa 1900-1915 (we think); spun cotton ornaments, toy stove, dolls. Click on the photo.

  1. My uncle used to add a little food coloring to glass wax to change its colors. As long as you didn't have condensation issues, it was a kitschy fun way to decorate, Linda
