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

--Courtesy of a previous auction at Croton's own SeriousToyz.com, and it sold for $37.95, "Batman” on the cover of Life Magazine,  March 11, 1966--contains the article “Batman makes a mighty leap into national popularity”. Wish we hadn't missed out on this one! Click on the photo.

And don't forget, the 2014 auction is coming--an important message from Tom Miano:

--Fans of mid century modern will just die and go to heaven when they read a very lengthy article, with lots of photos, from Retro Renovation: Mel and Mimi Brown – the Furniture King and Queen of midcentury Los Angeles – and their 1962 time capsule house, read more here http://retrorenovation.com/2014/08/19/mel-brown-furniture-time-capsule-house/

--Early Dolly putz house set, though there seems to be some discussion as to whether these are pre-WW2 or not; either way, they're very different than what we're accustomed to http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=688
