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

As always, some oldies but goodies, special requests, new finds and more. Click on the photos and links.

First up---and just in time for Easter---from Poland---Blumchen Sugar Rabbits and Lambs!

We love these........and if kept in a cool dark, dry place, sealed in a plastic tub, holdup for years!

Order them soon---they always sell out fast! Find them and more fab Easter goodness you'll find nowhere else--much of it old stock or vintage-inspired---at the Blumchen Easter link  https://blumchen.com/easter_shop_decorations.html

Next up, by special request, and featured in a previous auction at SeriousToyz.com--the "Talking Herman Munster", 1964, Mattel, 20"--but not talking--with original hang tag, in C8 box (back of box is rough), scarce--it sold for $348.45 anyway a few years back!

Next up a real treat, sliced and diced so you can appreciate all the vintage toy goodness---and outstanding lithography too--UNION STATION....TO BE PRECISE:

Courtesy of Flickr friend Joe Haupt--the Vintage Mystery Union Station Toy Train Set, No. 360, By The Automatic Toy Company, Metal Construction, Wind-Up Mechanical Train, Base Measures 14 x 20 Inches, Made In USA, Circa 1950s.

The three-piece mechanical train included with the set measures 10.5 inches in length. Automatic Toy Company produced a number of mechanical toy sets including Rocket Space Ship, Operation Airlift, Shooting Gallery, Jungle Pete the Mechanical Alligator, Television Set, Hoppo the Mechanical Rabbit etc. 

They just don't make 'em like this any more!

P.S. Most of the newspaper ads featuring these toys date to the early 1950s. Thanks Joe for the pix and all the info! Again, click on the photos and links.
