Nuggets From The Vintage Motherlode

Some pieces from the enormous stash of toys that spent decades in my friend Mike's parents' attic.  He and his husband, my friend Pete, were kind enough to bring them back from Tennessee for me last month... and trust me, the items (and the effort it took to bring transport them) are very much appreciated.

1960s Vinyl: Valley Of The (Singing) Dolls

Three recent flea market finds from the 1960s: 

Two LPs accredited to the Heidi Doll and one to the Tammy Doll.  

Interesting pieces of early character marketing and cross-promotion.

I bet a lot of little girls (and a few conflicted boys) just ate this up.

Flea Market Swag: 1910s - 1960s
