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

Long before cell phones...and texting...and...you know what we mean...there were Dick Tracy wrist radios--circa 1950's/60's--and walkie talkies...and viewmasters....and...click on the photos.  And see a "low cost" vintage walkie talkie ad here http://bit.ly/1h87Kox

  1. I was lucky enough to find a box with two working viewmasters and hundreds of slides at a garage sale some years ago. You would be surprised how much little children enjoy them especially in this age of canned computer kids' stuff.

  2. I wish the punch ad said how high the fence is - one reviewer said it was very tiny. Looks like a good find, though.
