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

As always, some wonderful finds, websites, oldies but goodies and more.  Click on the photos and links.

Many thanks to Pete Oehmen for another great set of photos from the Golden Glow of Christmas Past Convention 2019--some examples of figural (and more) vintage/antique lighting that were on exhibit. The first photo shows some gorgeous figurals made by Kremenezky of Hungary (spelling varies).   Here's a little about the company---By 1909 fancy figural Christmas light bulbs were being produced in Austria to market in Europe and America. The finely crafted hand-painted bulbs, from the Kremenetsky Electric Company and other factories, were made to represent animals, birds, flowers, fruits and even vegetables.  Read more about figural Christmas bulbs at ...2021 UPDATE: LINK IS NO LONGER ACTIVE.

Many of these photos have been sliced and diced into close-ups so you can appreciate their beauty.  There will be more. 

p.s. Some of these bulbs do still work--(people run them on dimmers), but the vast majority are displayed as ornaments.
