Old putz house with dog and different finishes?

Hi there, Happy Sunday. Does anyone recognize this house or has seen a putz house with a dog figure? The house is 6" X 4" X 6" tall. It has very small windows with no cellophanes, 1/2 covered at the top with snow. Base is foil covered with cellophane over top, and roof has saran wrap on part of it ...

Re: age of old house with snowman?

Thanks Tom, for the info, I did go ahead and put a skinny sponge tree there at the bottom of the stairs. And the other sponge pieces worked well for hiding the big gap between the base and house. I sold it on ebay for $25, was hoping for more but that's the way it goes. The lady who bought it is ...

Re: Uncle Tom's Piano Houses

Hi Tom, very nice layout on your piano. Funny thing is I just saw one of those German groupings on ebay, I had never seen 1 before. They're asking $300 for it. Almost identical to yours, have a look #281589325521
Thanks for all the great pix, been lovely to see all the projects, very inspiring.

Re: Different OLD house with two Tube B b Trees.

Hi Tom, greetings. I could not resist reading some of the posts while I was on here looking for help with my old house. I've had a few of these trees, almost like a thin bamboo.

Hi folks, long time, no post. I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season. I've been working on my oldest house but was wondering if anyone knows exactly what time frame it fits in. I was thinking early 30's with the raffia fence? I neglected to take any before pix, so what you see already has new ...

Re: Dolly Toy or Colmor?

Mystery solved. Colmor made 2 types of houses. The Christmas Tree Village in the blue box with the icicle houses and trees, which Laura bought, but the 16 houses included are from another set. "A Happitime product" sold by Sears, Roebuck Co. also by Colmor as seen on Ted's WW2 page at the bottom ...
