Last week, I bought a dollhouse off of Craig's list for $10. I couldn't resist the price, nor its arched doorways and large windows. I had the idea of transforming it into a 1960s Hollywood glam house (in addition to working on my Art Deco house). Unfortunately, I cannot identify where it was made or when. It is clearly vintage, and it is slightly less than 1:16 scale. The red roof is similar to my Vero dollhouse,
but the rest of the house seems to be from another maker. The new house is very sturdy, probably a heavy fiberboard. Take a look:
Front:
Side:
Other side:
Back:
If you can identify this house, please let me know. I will give one of these guys (your choice of red, blue, purple or black print) and a CB2 mini chair (red or white) on January 31st,
to the first five followers who
identify it comment on this post. Since I don't know the answer, it doesn't have to be correct (
but I hope you know any name will do). (The elephant makes a cute foot stool.)
Wishing you only good things, Neen
No idea, but I would say a nice buy!

I don't know either but its a great buy with great lines. Looks like it will be a fun refurbish/make-over project. Its probably 1:18 scale.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure but it looks like a early design of dolls house, why not have a look on ebay for dolls houses as I am sure I have seen this stlye onn there and maybe you will be able to get information, or you could send a picture to the dolls house maf, they would know, sorry could not help with this

Isn't 1:16 barbie scale?
ReplyDeleteI dunno what it is, but I'll keep an eye out for the design. Sometimes I stumble on that kind of info online.
That's how I figured out that I had a Greenleaf Van Buren. :)
Thanks Kyle, that is very nice of you! You are the fifth commenter and you get a chair and an elephant foot stool, I will be sending out next week. Please drop me an email with your color choices and address.
