Some great things today. As always, click on the photos and links.
First up, an oldie but goodie: a wonderful find courtesy of Scott, and sliced into three parts for
your viewing pleasure, a rare 1945 ad for A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN, one
of the best films ever. Superb acting, great casting. Put this movie on your must-see list.

followed by a page from the 1933 Walter & Stevenson Toy
Catalog, Australian, courtesy of Rebecca's Collections.
There is so much
putz house inspiration here for the crafter, Britains pieces,
dollhouses, flattie potential/inspiration, etc. It's a goldmine; see the entire catalogue here. Again, click on the photos and links.
AND MORE--KEYSTONE BUILDINGS, FLICKR ALBUM! SAYS REBECCA: These tiny model buildings are probably made by Keystone of Boston. The two storey houses are about 2 inches
tall; the garage is 1 1/4 inches tall. The figures in the photos are
1:160 Z scale plastic model railway figures by Preiser. GREAT GRAPHICS, MORE HERE

Lloyd Nolan was so young here. But his voice was even then very distinctive, and I knew right away who it was. One of my favorite movies of all time.
