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

First up, this rare and beautiful toy plane takes your breath away: the "Northwest DC–7 Airliner", 1950s, Yonezawa, Japan (imported by Cragstan); 24" tin passenger plane--the props turn as it rolls around, it comes to a stop, props shut down 2 at a time; lights flash, people in windows start to move towards rear exit as rear door opens to reveal a tiny 3D tin stewardess. 

And although the steps say "Eastern Airlines", these are the correct steps issued w/ this toy; FEATURED IN A PREVIOUS AUCTION at SERIOUSTOYZ, it sold for 1,144.25!

They're followed by a circa 1930's NOMA CHEER-O-LITE TREE and finally, another great Christmas scene from MatthewUnd--we love the clean modern lines of the village.
