We've started a blow mold page over on the OldChristmasTreeLights.com forum. http://oldchristmastreelights.com/forum ... acd4f0eb5d Here's my collection, courtesy of a Springfield Area resident cleaning out his garage: Attachment: roadside_santa_n_mrs.jpg [ 152 KiB | Viewed 28218 times ] Why don't I have more? Because I'm trying to clean out MY garage.

Recently spotted at the Springfield September Antiques Extravaganza. A little faded, but still smiling.

This snowman looks very Empirish? Sorry, I couldn't get to most of these to see the manufacturer - the room was very crowded and the booth was very full of stuff that was far more fragile than this fellow. Attachment: wide_eyed_snowman.jpg [ 52.58 KiB | Viewed 28022 times ] |

Santa has an odd expression. I think this is an Empire. Same show, same booth, same crowd. Attachment: santa_head_empire_i_think.jpg [ 62.49 KiB | Viewed 28022 times ] If I had wanted to start a collection, I would have been in VERY good shape just from this booth. |

Speaking of collections, this was all in one booth, of which the owner was not present when I stopped by, and whose neighbor didn't think I should be taking photos, much less poking through the stuff to see who made it. But I thought it might help somebody to see these in relationship to one another. Note the blow-mold santa face in the upper right hand corner, as well as the miniature blow-mold toy soldier and carollers. Attachment: big_collection.jpg [ 122.16 KiB | Viewed 28021 times ] |

Spotted at the Urbana (Ohio) Flea market. A penguin. This is a new one on me. Saw several other unusual ones but the pictures didn't come out.  Attachment: penguin.jpg [ 51.76 KiB | Viewed 27660 times ] |

Easter Bunny blow mold, apparently designed by Don Featherston (?) produced sometime after 1993, photographed at the May, 2015 Springfield, Ohio Flea Market Extravaganza.

A tree in my back yard, which had my vintage blow-mold Santa glowing next to it, started blinking on and off in thirty second increments. I realized that the wind had blown the Santa on top of the light-sensor/timer that the lights and Santa were plugged into. So Santa's light would make the timer shut off. Then after a few seconds, the timer would realize it was dark and turn the circuit back on again. And the cycle would have kept repeating itself indefinitely had I not noticed. Just another Clark Griswold moment. smile emoticon No, I don't have a gif of it, but if you want to see what it looked like, stare at the photo and blink slowly.
