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

So many wonderful finds to share with you.  As always, click on the photos and links.

First up...Not long ago we featured a segment on that iconic cigarette salesman--the Philip Morris bellhop, Johnny Roventini.   That reminded us of this oldie but goodie--an incredible die-cut lobby card standing almost four feet tall and in very good condition.  It's followed by an outstanding German tin toy, circa 1930's--the Carnival Rocket Ride by Blomer & Schüler.  (It sold for $450 at a previous SeriousToyz auction). Next, an utterly charming vintage die-cut Valentine Card, and finally a fabulous vintage postcard featuring Greta Garbo as Mata Hari.
