lost & found vintage toys

wooden puzzles

i always love vintage wooden puzzles, how quaint, learning to tell time :) ~

this one is from sifo, but i usually find playskool ones like this sing a song of sixpence puzzle ~

always missing a piece or two.. more like this here ~

on the subject of wooden toys, these folks are looking for their long lost wooden vehicle, a toy toxic remembers her little brother had that you could take apart & put back together. i'm always keeping my eyes peeled for one at estate sales ~

see more of timmy time here..

original rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

did you know the original rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was written by robert may for montgomery ward? ~

in 1939 ~

this version tells the story of how it came about ~

& the story is essentially the same as we're all familiar with from the song & tv special ~

poor rudolph ~

just lacking the special rankin/bass classic characters ~

on the back ~

these vintage puzzles are based on the original story ~

by jaymar ~

1950 ~

i have it on good authority that even with the government shutdown norad is already tracking santa! ~
