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

As always, some wonderful finds. Click on the photos and links.

First up, a fab 1933 promo, sliced in half for your viewing pleasure, all about the original King Kong. That's followed by an oldie but goodie and fab piece of lithorgraphed tinplate--featured in a previous auction at Croton's own SERIOUSTOYZ, meet the "Jiminy Cricket” Hopper, 1950s, by LineMar (Marx), Japan. That's followed by something that always worth a repeat viewing---a scene from the 2014 Christmas display created by Linda's late aunt. Marvelous log cabins and bottle brush trees.

And finally, by special request for an oldie but goodie--check out this ad for the 1962 Turbo express, which ran on HO track; we would have loved to see this one in action.  Again, click on the photos and enjoy.

Putz artisan Howard Lamey is working on a new project--The Tri-Tower Castle; this rare beauty was found on EBAY not long--this will be the interpretation since the the top tower was mssing; check it out here
