OTHER WEBSITES THAT I ENJOY:
My recommended sites for plastics afficionados are:
The
SANDRETTO, Italy... Click on the ITALY PLASTICS MUSEUM below.
This is a very useful site and currently I have 16 of the
items on display in the museum, within my own collection.
Added by kind permission and with thanks to Scott Schwartz, the SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE/NATIONAL MUSEUM
OF AMERICAN HISTORY..Archives site from the USA ... Fascinating images and information ... well worth a visit in my opinion

these countries see links listed below:
Click on SINTETICA and PETER FLIER'S sites, both from Germany and both
