Stick-on Doors and Windows

Early 20th-century cardboard candy box houses used stick-on doors and windows. Many later houses used stick-on doors. With the help of talented graphic artists, Pete is able to offer authentic reproductions, including the ones that Ted Althof used to sell, as well as several new reproductions.

Stick-on Doors and Windows

Post by paulrace »

Most early-20th century Japanese cardboard candy boxes had stick-on doors and windows. In fact, the "windows" were often just doors with the arches trimmed off or some such. Several of the patterns continued well into the cellophane era. The same suppliers who also helped Ted Althof make these reproductions available have helped Pete continue to offer them to collectors, restorers and builders. Plus a few more have been added recently.

Pete's page describing these is at the following link:

This page is a place for discussing these little gems.
