Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced. Therefore, this series is no longer available in the retail mar- ket except for pieces that they just happen to have in stock. One never knew what would appear in the window of the Curio Shop. It had a vast array of knicknacks and whatnots that was pleasing to the eye but always boggling to the mind. The proprieter, J. Pierpoint-Smithe was of English ancestry renewing his British accent annually by going to England and to renew his stock, as well. It is in excellent condition; no cracks, chips, or repairs.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Police Station". Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced. Therefore, this series is no longer available in the retail market except for pieces that they just happen to have in stock. There were some who questioned the real need for a Police Station in Colonial Village. The decision to build it was not in response to an increase in crime in the Village but by the general feeling that a progressive community should have a building dedicated to public safety. And, while they were at it, they might as well include an escape-proof jail--whether or not there were any desperados to occupy it. That's how the solid, secure brick structure with buttresses, granite steps, and a fancy facade came to be. It is in excellent condition; no cracks, chips, or repairs. It is marked "1987, Geo. Z. Lefton.,06344". It lights from the back which includes a cord with a nightlight-type bulb and an on/off switch for ease in turning it off and on.

Therefore, this series is no longer available in the retail market except for pieces that they just happen to have in stock. Postal service was as important to people in the past as it is to us now. Perhaps even more so. For before television, telephones, and even the telegraph, the mail was their prime source of con- tact and communication with the world beyond. Growing population created demands that exceeded the capacity of the few pigeon-hole mailboxes in a corner of the general store and the town fathers--encouraged by the town's mothers who were eager to hear from faraway kin, built the first real post office. It is in excellent condition; no cracks, chips, or repairs. It is marked "1989, Geo. Z. Lefton.,06343".

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Rosamond". It is personally signed by the late Mr. George Lefton. The slate-roofed, three- story frame house with white trim on the corner of Rose Lane and Almond Street was one of the "homiest" places in the Village. Just passing by, you knew it would be a pleasant dwelling to visit and a comfort- able house to live in. And so it was. Even first-time guests felt at home.

The Mission of San Sebastian re- flected yet another cultural and architectural influence in Colonial Village. The distinctive Spanish Colonial style migrated east from the southwest, providing a dramatic coun- terpoint to the simple frame houses of worship that were more common.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Springfield". The Springfield house in- herited its name from the site on which it was built; Spring's field. Before it was sold and subsequently developed, it had belonged to one of the Village's first families. Master carpenter and unofficial town historian Josh McCauley thought it would be a nice touch to give the ornately-trimmed house a name, and that's how it came to be known.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called the "State Bank". Downtown Colonial Village looked much as it does now just before the turn of the century. The State Bank was a welcome addition in 1896. 'Til then, Villagers had to do their banking in a neighboring town. For savers, it was cer- tainly more secure than cookie jars or tin cans buried in the backyard. For borrowers, it meant being able to accelerate their ambitions for a bigger business or a better home. For the Village, the bank helped provide the capital that fueled growth, progress and prosperity. Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Stearn's Stable". Stables were the garages of horse-drawn generations past. Townsfolk who didn't have their own single-stall carriage house needed a place to quarter their horses. So did busi- nessmen who used horse and wagons for deliveries. Indeed, the term "livery" came fro the French word for delivery. Stearn's livery stable also rented horses and buggies to out-of-towners, for essential trans- portation, by the hour, day, or week. The stable still stands but the horses quartered there are sporting pets, not beasts of burden. Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced.

Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced. Therefore, this series is no longer available in the retail market except for pieces that they just happen to have in stock. The Old Stone Church looks as if it might have been plucked right out of the English country- side. And, in a way, it was. Josiah Stone, whose house we have already seen, bequeathed the land, funds, and plans for the building of a church like the one in Cornwall, England, in which he was married. Stone came with his bride to Colonial Village where, through hard work and thrift, he managed to accumulate a modest fortune. Without heirs, he decided to leave a memorial to his wife.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "The Sweet Shop". The most popular store in the entire Village was Winnie's Sweet Shop. The aroma of chocolate and spices was like a magnet that drew people to and through the white-painted door into a sugar-coated wonderland. There, in glass cases, were at least a hundred ways to satisfy a sweet tooth. It was impossible to make a wrong decision. Everything was wonderful. Pan candies, caramels, toffees, brittles were "Any For A Penny". Price has gone up, but you still get more than your money's worth at the Sweet Shop.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Sweetheart Bridge". This is part of the Village's romantic past and present. It got its name from the custom that allowed a beau to kiss his girl in the shadows as they passed through. Considering the shortness of the span, the innocence of the activity was assured even in Victorian times. The bridge was built as a tollway in the mid 1800's. It saved miles which were not yet measured in mere minutes. That made the fare of a penny, if on foot, to a dime, crossing with horse and wagon, a square deal. Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced. Therefore, it is no longer available in the retail market except for pieces that they just happen to have in stock. It is in excellent condi- tion; no cracks, chips, or repairs. It is marked "1988, Geo. Z. Lefton.,06751".

A lovely addition to your own Christmas Village.
