Small "OPEN BASE COCONUTS" from the 1930's

Please use this forum for photos of your putz villages - some of you don't make your own houses, but you still display a lot of artistry when you combine and arrange them. And the rest of us would love to see your work. Again, it works best if you resize your photos to 800px wide or less before you upload them - Paul

Small "OPEN BASE COCONUTS" from the 1930's

Post by Pete R.Oehmen »

Hello fellow Putz People. I just finished another set of photos for the Collector's Guide and future Poster. The pictures are of a delicate set of OPEN BASE COCONUTS. They are only 4-1/8" wide x 2-2/5" deep x 3-3/8" tall. I think, maybe, they were inspired by the new HO scale of the time? I didn't realize until I started this shoot that the set has at least 20 different building. I'm sure I'll find more as I search my many boxes and rooms. Notice the page from the Collector's Guide that a lot of these were from the Papa Ted collection. If any of my fellow collectors have other variations on these houses I'd love to see your photos.
