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

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

First up, an oldie but goodie and a rare find indeed.

These vintage Nativity lights are most often found in brown with a green tree--but these are WHITE, manufactured in Hong Kong by SONSCO; most likely 1960's-1970's.  That's followed next by a fabulous old photo courtesy of the LOC.....

An undated photo of a Christmas and New Year's Card sidewalk seller; if we had to guess, we'd say 1890's to about 1915; we especially love the EMERGENCY BAGGAGE REPAIR SHOP in the background.

That's followed by a fabulous old Christmas window photo circa 1915 to 1920 featuring gorgeous dolls and more.  And finally a late 1930's Christmas advertisement for Coca-Cola, beautifully rendered, and of course with their amazing SUNDBLOM Santa Claus icon. Again, click on the photos and links.

A really nice printed vintage assemble yourself printed house courtesy of Toys and Stuff--but what really makes it is the wall!  

Purportedly made by BUILT-RITE and from the 1940's--though this is doubtful--and no maker's marks http://bit.ly/1pdGAAU
