A couple of weekends back, with Vintageland and the Old Toy Swap coinciding, it was Heaven on Earth!
I got to spend a good three hours at Vintageland on Saturday, and then a second serving on Sunday. On Saturday, I managed to visit also the Swap for its final hours.
My purchases were mostly smalls, except, finally, for a complete Clifford Batmobile (that beacon is the tricky part). It was a long journey, but well worth it!
I found an interesting lot of vintage pencil sharpeners, some by German manufacturer KUM, in various guises (mini television, revolver, football, abacus, automobile), plus a lot of plastic sheriff badges by a Finnish manufacturer Plasto.
They were 1950's chocolate premiums, and there was an individual badge made for every U.S. state!
Bought also that Heinerle Manurba Tarzan figure, remembering your great Tarzan recreations.
This is a You Tube video of the Vintageland event.
Enjoy!

What a brilliant day you had Arto and the complete Clifford Batmobile must have been the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteIt was, Woodsy. It was.

ReplyDeleteYes Lewis. At least for one weekend in a year, and in a grand way!
