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

So much to share with you today--keep it coming--we NEVER get tired of vintage! As always, click on the photos and links.

To the right, a page from a 1917 Journal of Electricity featuring a Christmas window filled with Western Electric products for gift-giving.  Just swooning over the "Junior Range" for little girls, a pre-cursor of the 60's Easy Bake Oven no doubt(!) 

Next up, an oldie but goodie---the outstanding white Christmas tree with putz house decorations and putz village beneath--from Matthew. We're not usually a fan of white trees but this one is quite exceptional.

It's followed by a great poster from 1943 on keeping war chatter to a minimum.....And then...we love indent Christmas ornaments--even when they're repros by Radko; see a Flickr album of Radko repro--and original--ornaments--assorted holidays--courtesy of Angela here

As many of you know, Radko also made a number of vintage Christmas light reproductions; here's an album from Mark--but first a description: 

"Some of these photos are mine and some are from some friends who have sold items on eBay, so they were obtained from there. Interesting set includes the original Radko Shiny Brites including Snowmen, Santas, Glo Brites, Twirl Brites, Twirl Brites with star reflectors, Star Lites, Candle Lights and Blinking Bells. None of these light sets are currently being manufactured with the exception of a short run of bubble lights in 2011. All the rest have been discontinued as well as Bubble light trees and candoliers."
