strange houses on ebay???

If you have an unusual piece that you have questions about, this is the place to post them. Photos are VERY welcome, though it helps if you reduce them to 800 wide before you upload them. If you can't reduce them yourself, post them anyway and I'll try to reduce them when I have time.

Hello all, I did find some interesting roofs at dollhouse companies. One in particular was good...The Little Dollhouse Co. in Toronto under building supplies. There are even some on ebay under dollhouse roofs and shingles.

Regarding the "shingles": I don't know the name for it but it's a very loose kind of cardboard, like cardboard egg cartons, that you can put a pattern into with a bit of pressure and some kind of stamp. I've seen it before where they used a honeycomb pattern to make the shingles. Sorry, I don't have a name for it.

Well, just in case you missed the finish of the auction for the "Super Lakkies" and other houses, they sold for just under $1700. Was someone in the group lucky enough to win them?? I'll post a message when the other seller lists her Giant schoolhouse. Happy Veteran's Day, say a prayer for the fallen.
