RARE VINTAGE FIND: KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN CEREAL MODERN HOME KITS

We've talked about a great old film from time to time called MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE...starring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy (click on the link http://bit.ly/KmgHlW)

So we were delighted when Carol sent us the following link from Toys and Stuff:

 "In 1948 Kellogg's produced a set of what has now become one of the hardest to acquire American-made cardboard houses. They were called the 'Kellogg’s Modern Home Kits' and were available through mail order on boxes of Kellogg's 'All-Bran' cereal. Today Toys and Stuff is proud to bring you the 'Blandings Dream House' based on the movie “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House” starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, and Melvyn Douglas."

    Our first house was a lot like the Brandings. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.

    I've heard of this movie and have to give it a look-see. Grandmother was always teasing my uncle who liked to dress very dashing, that he was Cary Grant.
