This turned out to be the best restoration of a fuzzy window Green spot house that I have done. I took some pictures and passed them to a few friends and one finally suggested that I put some paint stripper on the grossly repainted base. I did and discovered that it was indeed a green spot house. This article takes you through the process and gives you some idea of what this thing looked like originally. Good for another 50 years! However there were ODD brush strokes on the fence and even the original posts were green. This color of green was never used by the fuzzy window green spot house but instead was a lime green. I finally figured out that this had been rehabbed at least twice and once fairly recently because those mullioned windows were backed with red acetate. Also the door was a T. Althof door. Notice after I got the house fairly cleaned up that a dark green had been painted around the base of the house. Certainly nothing like that was done originally and was likely done as a light seal. In addition there had been a glue sprayed on the house and plastic glitter sprinkled on it as seen in photo 2. I scraped off the glitter and wound up repainting it with a well matched paint I mixed up and sprinkled German glass Diamond Dust glitter over the paint as was originally done. (Yes this is authentic) I had tried spraying the glossy sprayed on glue with a Flat model paint spray but it simply didn't work. So went with a paint job.
