Dolly Question

Post by PutzinVT »

I came across this auction on Ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/152831163124?rmvSB=true

The house looks like a Dolly house.
The stamp on the bottom says "Germany"

I was under the impression that Dolly was a US company.

Hi Steve,

At first I thought maybe it's a base/house switch-a-roo, but I have a picture of a box set with the same base.

I have lots of pictures of Dolly houses I will keep looking for some more hits.

I love a good Dolly story!!

So do you think that the base was switched? Or did the Dolly Toy Company make it for Germany?

How interesting. It's definately a Dolly House. My guess would be the base was switched - it also doesn't have the typical Dolly fence. I don't know if it would have been made for Germany based on the time period and WWII. But I'm just guessing.
