School House

Post by PutzinVT »

I'm always amazed when a coco house comes up on Ebay.
Especially in this condition.

I am amazed as well about the quality of this house. I just didn't think coconut and the loofa tree could stand up to time that well. Someone must have kept it sealed away somewhere safe. It would not survive that well in an attic in the humid south.

Wow, what a beauty!!! And......It has WHITE FUZZY windows!! I think I've seen some that looked white, but I kinda thought they just were faded, but based on the condition of this one, I'd definitely say those were white. I may have to do a special run of white fuzzies at some point...this one is screaming for repro.

Thanks for sharing Steve, can't wait to see what it goes for.
