As always, some wonderful finds, oldies but goodies, special requests and more. Click on the photos and links.
First up, a fab piece of illustration--In 1934, LifeSavers had some competition: Beech-Nut Fruit Drops and Mints. Their angle was to claim that their product, unlike LifeSavers, was ALL CANDY, THEY'RE SOLID!
A wonderful old snapshot (thanks Jim) from Christmas 1941---God bless the U.S.O,
That's followed by a circa 1890's a page from a London catalog for a company known as Benetfink. Two possible building projects for our putz artisans. And finally vintage model toy horses; the large one in the back is a "Peter Stone" horse and the rest are vintage Breyers.
