First up, an oldie but goodie. Another one of those great ads from the back pages of a movie magazine, 1960--100 LITTLE DOLLS ALL FOR A DOLLAR! Made of styrene (now there's a word you don't hear of too often any more) and hard synthetic rubber. Yes, we want them all.
That followed by a real find--Make Your Own Buster Keaton Movie--actually it's a flip book--and from a 1922 magazine. We've sliced it into two parts for easier viewing.
And finally, a faux tinplate creation from Howard Lamey--because every village needs a bus station.
(Check out the Tribute to Tinplate from Paul Race here.)
Again click on the photos and links.
So worth looking at again: the coolest Disney blog--all vintage 1928-1945. It hasn't been updated in a while but we love it and there are some very interesting things on it--including early Mickey Mouse Thanksgiving Day Balloon photos vintagedisneymemorabilia.blogspot.com/
THE CANDY WRAPPER MUSEUM! This is a very fun site--click here.
For fans of Russel Wright/Melmac, this is THE most fun site--rare items too---you could end up spending a lot of time at http://retrochalet.blogspot.com/
