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

So many wonderful things to show--and tell you about--will probably have to do multiple posts today if time permits.

To the right, the "X-100 Mystery Dart Gun", 1940s, made by Arliss Co., Brooklyn--great looking space gun shoots darts that you fill with talcum powder... "Hits its mark! Leaves a mark!";
featured in a previous auction @ Croton's own SeriousToyz.com - We just love the "space-y" lines of this thing. And fyi: Stay tuned for info about upcoming 2015 auctions at serioustoyz.com

It's followed by an amazing art deco, possibly very early 1940's, bar--and it was discovered at Asbury Methodist's 2009 Spring Tag Sale no less. It didn't remain unsold for very long! And fyi: stay tuned for info about the 2015 Asbury Spring Tag Sale.

Click on the photos and enjoy.

  1. What a beautiful bar that was. So unique. But the black handle on the lid makes me think it could be 1950's?

  2. No not 50's but easy to see why one might think so from that handle shape.
