smjsome Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Kansas City: Front-opening, British-looking dollhouse I have this house, and converted it, with tiles, and such, and I love it, but be aware, it's laminated inside, and the windows are plastic. It's a child's play house. I sanded off a lot of plastic lamination, repainted the windows. I also built in walls inside. also only paid $40.00, and its perfect for me, keeps the cats out, wires run behind it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minaeu Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I am cruising through Craig's List and found this. I am wondering if anyone has an idea as to what the manufacturer is? Also do you think it is worth it to get it? ;) http://providence.craigslist.org/tag/5771775848.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I don't know what it is, but it looks to be in good shape and has a rolling base. I'd pay $75 for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minilover62 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I would offer $50, there is a lot to do, and once you see it in person could be worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 For $75 with rolling base...and if YOU like it, then it is a great deal.It has 3 stories and a tower room for you to decorate. It is, however, RGT mdf and will be very heavy. But I think it is a great Victorian - you could do all sorts of things with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtex1967 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Here is a Hofco Victorian. I know I have seen this model but can't remember the name. I even remember the ads for the store it was purchased! I could not find it in my copy of The Miniature Catalog. But is it me, and even with free shipping, isn't the price a bit steep? https://www.etsy.com/listing/477856029/vintage-1990s-hofco-victorian-dollhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I think it's that house by Petite Dreams . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Oh, Matt, you just ID'd another house I was wondering about. This one has been on Craig's List for a while and I kept wondering where I'd seen it before, but I was too lazy to look it up (and yes, I think the house you're looking at is overpriced by about $3850): http://bend.craigslist.org/for/5770642202.html And as long as I'm posting some Craig's List links: I think this is The Adorable from Miniature World. The owner says it's signed on the bottom with James R. Hansen and a number http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/atq/5778997302.html this one looks nice - I think it opens on the side, too: http://salem.craigslist.org/atq/5783341096.html This the Foxhall - I think someone should pick this up: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/art/5772817682.html And probably a homemade one: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/tag/5729769452.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenannediva Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Definitely not a Real Good Toys and definitely not a Foxhall Manor. If it is a real Lawbre French Country (pic #5 is the best clue we get) is anyone's guess. Please, please anyone ever wanting to sell a dollhouse online please provide a full pic of the front, back and/or side, depending on style and throw in the dimensions, would be much appreciated. IMHO. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Real-Good-Toys-Foxhall-Manor-Dollhouse-Material-Milled-Plywood-/162201678671?hash=item25c3f9334f:g:hiAAAOSwgZ1XsBQ8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddicted Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Interesting. Could be the basic version of French Country, here's a photo from their catalog in 2004 for Petite FC but you don't see the arch doors on the sides of the house like Lawbre.

fov Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 That looks nothing like a Foxhall Manor! Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minaeu Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well after 4 days I am still waiting on an answer to my inquiry about the above house with base. And then I find this one, which I am in love with, (it is the second I have found recently first one was 300 ). So please tell me what you all think of this one. Thanks in advance. It will require 4 hour round trip but I am in love! Question is, should I stay in love and buy it? He said the electric was intermittent. ?? I do not have electric in any house I have so a bit excited but do not know what it would entail to fix it. http://hartford.craigslist.org/tag/5709104675.html p.s. the vacuum in one picture is what truly sold me...I'm serious!

miniaddicted Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thats an RGT newport, bigger than the other house you are looking at. Great house, solid. No doors or baseboard so if you need to strip paper to fix electric it is doable. Great deal for the price. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I love the Lawbre house above (if it is a Lawbre). I'd get it for the kitchen alone, as that looks like a custom kitchen. But I love the details and I think that's what you're paying for when you get a house like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddicted Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I agree, I'd buy it if I were local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddicted Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 As Debra has pointed out in the past, the windows alone (including the fancy attic ones) are worth the price and pay for the cost of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenannediva Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The 2004 Lawbre price list I have has the Petite French Country House unfinished shell listed for $1,237.00, windows at $330.00 and optional trim at $264.00 which adds up to $1,800.00 which the seller says was original cost. Does not explain why then we do not see the arched window on each side or why the seller is calling it an RGT Foxhall Manor. When it is so easy to research anything these days how can someone be so far off. With a bad description and lousy pics I can only wish them luck.

rodentraiser Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It could be the person selling it may have inherited the house and knows nothing about them. The original owner may have had Lawbre custom make the house, which I think they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
