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

And so another "vintage" New Year goes into full gear at Everything Croton. So much to show you.

To the right--step back in time to 1914, when the Victor Victrola was magical and cutting-edge. A fabulous old magazine ad that's filled with details....it's followed by Howard Lamey's latest creation--a tiny little putz cottage; you can find the pattern for it here  http://bit.ly/178Vd7o - just keep scrolling down the page once you get there.

(Howard also provides the link to the "Pac-o-Fun" edition with all the putz house templates and photos upon arrival at the Cardboard Christmas forums link above.)

And finally Howard's latest is followed by a 1965 pulp magazine ad for the Horrorscope Movie Viewer--one of those things that probably disappointed shortly after arrival, separating a boy from his allowance...

Like the Ovaltine de-coding ring in A Christmas Story. Click on the photos and enjoy. 

And now drumroll please. Tom H has loaded photos of his vintage putz house collection. We guarantee there will be items you have never seen before--and a wonderful German piece or two; click on the links: http://bit.ly/1D2jbOK
