Anya Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I found a very strange looking dollhouse on ebay. It is a little bit like a San Franciscan, but it looks like it made from cardboard. You've all probably seen 100s of them, but in the UK I don't see many of these dollhouses. http://cgi.ebay.com/Duracraft-Dura-craft-C...bayphotohosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellencouch Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 It's a Duracraft house, so will be made of wood. i think it's just the manky box making it look odd .....................just seen the shipping weight 21 pounds .............definitely not cardboard lol ................rather like the house, couldn't afford the postage at the moment.

LPCullen Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yes, it's definitely a wood kit. It's an older one, which is why you don't see that many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Not seen that kit before. Dura-Carft did diecut and a few MDF precut kits, that looks like a diecut. Thanks for the link, always looking for more unusual kits. AND MAN! DURA-CRAFT HIT THE BAYOU FOR THEIR CHILD MODEL YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

JaimieMarvon Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 If anyone is interested in it I will be in that area next friday (for the Philadelphia Miniatura show!!!!) and she says local pickups welcome. Let me know if you want to bid and I can pick it up. Probably get it to you much cheaper too! LOL I would Love to have that style house but I cannot be another one to hoard houses! I definatley woudl be in BIG trouble. Not only do we have a move coming up will will mostly likely be downsizing... so there will be NO ROOM.

Skittiescat Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Wha? Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about - some beautiful mystery Duracraft children's kit based on the Bayou? I'm intrigued and would love to know (or even better, see a pic!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellen I am with Ellen, it looks great but I really really shouldn't write the seller asking if they would consider shipping abroad, now should I???? I am thanking you for sharing, not so sure about hubby though.... Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anya Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Its' a nice house. I know it's plywood but the pic makes it look very thin. I love finding odd minis especially rare things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
