Re: SANTA, ROCKET AND FLAMINGOS "FLATTIE"...

Of course it is a great piece, Howard, and the flamingos make it so perfect for Florida. Maybe Flat Santa needs to take a canoe ride (ask Don Ho) and have lovely turquoise sailfish jumping in the vignette. I'll never forget the neon signs depicting jumping sailfish at old motels. Thanks for sharing ...

A simple wooden tower

This German toy was made as a model train accessory. The simplicity of the design would make it easy for the experts here to create in cardboard. I am not trying to sell this item. I buy other toys from the seller but thought this worthy of sharing here.

Graphics make all of the difference

This is a BIG castle meant to be used with toy figures. The construction of it is simple, but the graphics are well designed and add significant play value. Maybe they will inspire a Christmas castle for a putz village, too. I have no association with this auction.

Re: 1948 HAPP-TIME SERVICE STATION -- PUTZING INSPIRATION

What a hugely deluxe play set! And what could possibly go wrong? A battery, captive water with several outlets, metal strips on the windows, and the genuine Tekwood base. I've never seen this set before. The yellow station wagon parked on the roof was made by Banner. I don't se the set with the ...

Re: Flagstone House done in glitter…

What a fine looking flagstone, Howard. Seems like each small or medium sized town in the south has at least one example of a flagstone on the road into town. I always look for them. Thanks for sharing pics of this wonderful creation.

Re: 2022 PROJECT NO. 3--HALLOWEEN "BLACK CAT BASKET"...

Howard! The composition art you created for the "inner face" should be kept and offered at the next auction of modern art. It is genius! You are on trend with using found pieces, the colors are great, it looks frightening, it is just a wonderful stand alone piece of modern art. I guarantee you could ...
