I thought it might be useful, as a sort of appendix to the more detailed info from Papatedsplace, to feature catalog pages I've come across referencing putz houses. I've collected quite a few over the years.

Here's a page from the 1937 Sears

Been trolling fleabay and have discovered that vintage putz houses can be an economical collectible. There are many available for reasonable prices and they don't take up a lot of room. Lots of potential there for my blog.
