So today I was at a local antiques shop. They had a few Putz houses for sale. Except for the
little kid finger pushed in doors and the heat beat up cello windows they look pretty good.

I did a quick trip thru papa Teds site, but did not see a reference to these.

I have two that say "Blume Japan" on the bottom.

On ad the bases are just sheet cardboard, not platforms like some of them.

I'd post a pic but my camera is dead at the moment. I need to buy a battery pack for it.

Can someone get give me an idea as to which decade these are from.

Thanks,

Steve
