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

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

First up--from a previous auction some years at SeriousToyz, and from 1955, A FULL SET OF “Metal Railroad Emblem” Post Cereal Premiums.  They were embossed, lithographed tin---and are accurate, detailed miniatures of the 1950s leading RR train lines; these were given away individually in boxes of cereal.  And more for our tinplate lovers!

Next up, and always worth a second look...from another previous auction, the "Jewel T Circus" Electric Train Set in Box, 1950, Unique Art...

This was an exclusively produced circus train for the "Jewel T" Home Delivery Service; an extremely scarce set in any condition, wonderful lithography.

And finally, Ross found this really interesting blog called THINGS YOUR GRANDMOTHER KNEW.  Alas, it has not bee updated since 2017---still we spent a lot of time there today and picked out some links you might enjoy:
