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

As always, some wonderful new finds, oldies but goodies, special requests and more.

Click on the photos and links.

First up, another great wartime Santa Claus ad for Chesterfield Cigarettes; circa 1942. 

Santa comes complete with helmet!

Yes there once a time when Chesterfields made a great gift!

A fab find from The Cornelia Cotton Gallery, many years ago---111 Grand St., 271-6802.

Next, a simply glorious old Christmas photo with all the bells and whistles, circa 1900-1915 (we think); spun cotton ornaments, toy stove, dolls. 

And another shot from your editor's 2024 Fontanini Nativity featuring a small stable-like structure from putz artisan Howard Lamey---and re-purposed into a carpenter's workshop. There will be more. Again click on the photos and links.

An old newsletter from Connie recent newsletter reminded us that there are some classic Christmas commercials out there--and we get to see them again courtesy of YouTube:

-NORELCO; go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y888mx7hMZ0

-REMEMBER GLASS WAX STENCILS; we loved these as children, but I suspect it was a way to get us to clean the windows first.  Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB28fvRqg4s

-HOOVER! 1962; what every woman wants for Christmas!

But I know  in some houses, this would ave been the equivalent of true misery!

And of course, NORAD will be tracking Santa again this year.  It has become a tradition in many households--especially via Smartphone!  Just go to: http://www.noradsanta.org/
