A nice ranch style tin dollhouse from England, probably Mettoy.- SOLD
A two story tin house by Marx. This house is interesting in that it appears to
have been in a photograph with Louis Marx himself. There's a picture of Mr. Marx
in a showroom, probably at the Marx plant, and hanging on the wall behind him is
a dollhouse with a number tag on it. If you look at the picture of the house I
have, you will see that the colors have faded and the house was originally a
brighter blue color which shows between the upper story windows. When I received
this house, there was a paper number tag taped to the metal between the windows
and the number matched a number on a tag taped to the house in the picture with
Mr. Marx. It looks to be the very same house.-This item is for sale. Price $500. Inquire
for details.
