MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

We're so happy to bring you this rare, working find: the 1954 Raylite Musical Church Organist. It contains a Swiss music box. When the music box plays, his arms move up & down and he sways from side-to-side, creating the illusion he is playing music. Raylite used a very thin Vinylite plastic, which broke very easily--the Swiss mechanism did as well--which accounts for why finding one in good working order is difficult. There are a few missing pieces here and and some minimal paint loss but it's still an outstanding find. Click on the photo.
