The seller sounds a little grumpy though. 😆

Anymore, my husband gets inundated with scam calls the minute he posts things on Craglist.....It is probably the case with this seller. The house is beautifully done, but they probably won't sell it at that price. Too bad.

I've never seen this before, a short Newport: https://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/bab/d/bellmore-real-good-toys-extra-large/7392411299.html

It's funny that the ad calls it an "extra large dollhouse," but maybe they're just taking wording of RGT's site for the regular Newport. I wonder if the house ever shipped this way, or this was a bash? I think it's kind of cute! The Newport never sang to me, but I like this little version.

I love that! I'm with you, the house never did much for me for some reason, but I like what they've done to this. Cute! Chopping down a house is pretty easy. Or at least it is if you do it while still in kit form. I'll eventually be doing it to one of mine to replace the French Quarter house I'm trading for a chateau, but that will get me off topic again!

"1940s Handmade Antique Vintage Dollhouse"

Wrong. Try late 1970s most-basic-kit-offered by Batrie. I gave away one just like it but in better condition to a friend's son who was studying interior design and wanted to try out his ideas. I surely hope no one out there pays $895 for it! Maybe remove the 8 then divide by 2...

Anyone know more about this house? A Manorcraft Designs, Ravenhurst.

It looks kind of cool, and not too far from me. Like I need another dollhouse. And yet...

I'm not familiar with it, but it looks like the part next to the stairs is two-rooms deep? I wonder if the front opens. Seems like a neat layout.

Here's a decent Fairfield... "builder's grade," but nicely done: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185119199872?hash=item2b19f6d280:g:1KwAAOSwHBZhcNoQ

(My eyes jumped right to the 1:12 scale floorboards though...)

An Arthur with pinecone shingles?! https://www.ebay.com/itm/203660371688?hash=item2f6b1aa6e8:g:k4QAAOSwiLZhcLYS

This is kinda cool: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255186578861?hash=item3b6a4e2dad:g:dIoAAOSwviZhUjmB

Overpriced, but a nicely finished (and different than usual) Harrison: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324836195573?hash=item4ba1befcf5:g:d6QAAOSwUE9hNPxh

Another non-miniaturist that has no idea what they have, and think it is a bar of gold.

This is an old Illinois Hobbycraft parlor lamp.  It is missing the red shade.  It is not brass.  It is only painted metal.  Funny how a German antique dollhouse light has a plastic chimney and is wired with a bulb :doh:

Interesting, as I was looking at that auction eBay recommended I look at this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/311475267484?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D42b4700568f547fe9136b6d6bb0b0b2a%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D144267662849%26itm%3D311475267484%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWeb%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1

Almost identical title, but a different seller, and the fixture seems more likely to be an antique (or at least one-of-a-kind). Looks like the seller with the Hobbycraft lamp is trying to pass theirs off as the same thing.
