MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON
We've shown you this 1958 Sears Christmas Wishbook catalog page before but only recently discovered that one of the kits available made a FIVE FOOT tree! Not sure that this would have been effective as anything more than a tabeltop size--but let's face it--at five feet it would have made quite the impression. It seems to have been a passing fad because a review of other Sears Wishbooks after 1958 shows that the kits were no longer being offered...Either way, a marvelous time capsule!
Next up a marvelous collection of later made in Japan putz houses--but very minty--with two seldom seen very large and early bottle brush trees complete with spun cotton fruit, courtesy of AngelaG.
It's followed by a wonderful piece of Marx tin featured in a previous auction @ Croton's own SeriousToyz.com--Porky Pig with Spinning Umbrella", 1939, Marx, 8.5", wind-up--it sold for $196. Stay tuned for more magic from SeriousToyz.com

I vaguely recall our having one of these small ones on the dining room table instead of flowers that year.
