Default Does anyone recognize this dollhouse?

This dollhouse was a Christmas gift in I believe 1964 so the dollhouse
was manufactured on or around then. Does anyone know who made this,
what it is called, etc.? I would love to find one today and buy it. I
have looked extensively on EBay and elsewhere with no luck. Thanks!

No, I don't recognize it ... but..

what scale is it? From the pic it looks like 3/4". Both Lundby and
Brio were making contemporary-style 3/4" dollhouses and accessories
around that time. Brio has since stopped, and Lundby has resumed after
a fairly long haitus.

So, it might be from Brio. Look carefully at the furnishings to see if
any of them are branded or have any markings.

I say Brio because I'm not particularly familiar with their line; I do
know Lundby of that era (we bought our daughter one in Dec. 1970), and
don't recall their making anything that looked like this, but they might
have. The fireplace looks just like a Lundby fireplace.

Hope this helps -- PLEASE come back here and tell us what you've found out!

Well, all I have is the photo - no dollhouse! I am hoping to locate a
dollhouse to purchase just like this one but first I need to know what I am
looking for of course. I researched Lundby houses and I was encouraged but
this one my sister had is clearly plastic and Lundy houses seemed more wood
based. Brio I will check on and let you know what I find out. This is a bit
of detective work here...

If the scale is 1" (1/12) rather than my guesstimate of 3/4", then it
could be Tomy or Renwal or Ideal or Marx or ...

You might have better luck trying to identify some of the furniture in
the photo - there are a lot more used furnishings and accessories
available and for sale in the market than there are houses.

I'll assume from your pacbell address that you're here on or near the US
west coast. There are miniature shows regularly held in most
metropolitan areas; many have one or more antique/collectible dealer
tables. Those specialists might also be able to help. (The next show I
know of will be in Santa Barbara at the Sandman Inn on Sept. 18. - the
contact number for information (and I'm going to munge this to keep it
out of automatic telemarking phone number robots) is Dale at
area code three two three
nine three five - three 852

It's a RARE free admission event!

You could also send your e-mail and image to any appropriate sites on
the following page -- you COULD get lucky!

this may be a "Debbie's Dollhouse" produced by Reading (the same company
that made Penny Brite dolls)

Sure - It takes a Deborah to recognize a Debbie's Dollhouse

A little googling didn't help, but it did turn up a book I wasn't aware of -
Greenberg's Guide to Plastic Dollhouse Furniture.
That might help the Abby G. positively identify the DH (DollHouse, not
Dear Husband)

Don't post binaries in non-binary newsgroups. Pictures should
only be posted in newsgroups with .binaries in their title. Like

alt.binaries.pictures.crafts
