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, a beautiful French cabinet card, name unknown, we believe an actress or singer, pre-World War One, courtesy of the late collector Suzee Que. It's followed by one of our favorite Marx playsets:

The Robin Hood Castle set, 1956, featured in a previous auction from the now closed Serioustoyz.com in Croton; it sold for $197 a few years back.

And finally,  in limited quantities, now available at Blumchen, a rare Victorian-style Dresden garland for your Christmas tree, the filigree die-cut links are made from a gold foil-covered cardstock. Still bright, shiny and in mint condition, this vintage collectible is now more than 35 years old. Produced in Western Germany by a family firm that is no longer in business, they have only limited quantities available. Get it at Christmas Shop: Vintage Dresden Filigree Chain Garland, West Germany - D. Blumchen
