Guest Nathaniel Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I found an elderly woman at a tag sale that says she is selling her Batrie dollhouse and TONS of high quality miniatures with it. I made an appointment with her to come see everything she has this coming Friday afternoon (6-27-08), between 1 and 2pm. Im excited to at least see what she has! But, I have never heard of Batrie dollhouses. She said she got it in the 80's, and its a huge house but does not know the name of it. I did a search on Google and it looks like Batrie made Real Good Toys houses like the Newport and stuff. But, i think they went out of business. Is Batrie the old name of the now Real Good Toys company? Im confused... Can someone please clarify??? -Nathaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nathaniel Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 oh, i think I answered my own question.. Looks like RGT did purchase Batrie years ago, and now RGT makes alot of the houses that Batrie originally made... ( i did some more research) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nathaniel Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Let us know what you get Well I dont think I will get the house. Unless shes selling it for dirt cheap which I doubt. She says she has tons of REALLY expensive high end minis, older pieces. Im dying to see what they are. I dont think she is selling everything though. just some stuff.. I cant wait till Friday afternoon!!! I remember Batrie...they made some nice houses. I wondered what ever happened to them. Apparently Real Good Toys bought them out...
