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

One of our favorite television shows growing up was Get Smart--starring Don Adams and Barbara Feldman; we recently had an opportunity to see an episode online---and well, it just didn't hold up....still, the nostalgia element ran high...With Barbara Feldman as Agent 99--and Adams' routine with "Control" and the "cone of silence"--that part remains a classic bit of shtick. 

To the right is a vintage 60's Get Smart lunchbox featured in a previous Serioustoyz auction; the lunch box with thermos went for $86.25

It's followed by two putz houses from Howard Lamey--an oldie but goodie--and then his latest remake of a PACK O' FUN house in a different color scheme--the Two Peak Flat Top house....click on the photos and enjoy.

And from Toys & Stuff, The Untouchables Playset, worth looking at again---this one's a repro---read more here.

  1. I had that lunch box and another one with a rocket ship on it. Like getting a new composition note book and a nice pencil case, a new lunch box meant back to school. I can still smell the wax paper my mom used to wrap sandwiches in and the tang in the thermos.
