Hallowell Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 How many of you collect the old tin houses of the 40's, 50's and 60's and the plastic furniture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Oh Greg, I have one and all the furniture as well. I've been meaning to take pictures of it. Do you have any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have just a few pieces of furnituer, but every time I see one of these houses in an antique store I think of buying it. One of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missymew Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Wendy and Greg - Please share some photos of the tin houses and plastic furniture. Is the plastic furniture that renewal furniture I've read about in dh magazines? -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes it is, it it's a little smaler than 1/12 but some of it is quite cute and well done. They have a tendemncuy to warp with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have a few pieces of the furniture that I keep saying I'm going to put on ebay, but still haven't done it. People have told me to hang onto it, but I'm running out of room! ROFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I remember some of my friends had tin litho dhs, mine was more like masonite with working tin lattice windows and an electric nightlight bulb over the stairway. I had the Renwal dolls but most of my plastic furniture was Tootsietoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonsaikathy Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I came very close to buying one recently that was actually in perfect shape. I don't remember the reason I didn't get it. I did however pick up one of the sears plastic dollhouses with all the furnishings at a yard sale recently. The house is electrified and has sound effects. It's neat. I got it for just 10$ which I thought a very very good deal. I've seen each individual room go for that much. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakyshaky Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have one but I don't have ( or want) the plastic furniture. Mine is 1/2 scale. I'll have pics in my web shots but I'll try to take some new ones soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 My mother has a tin house and a ton of furniture for it. I should go 'borrow' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallowell Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 I find it very hard to find one that is not rusty or dented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonsaikathy Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 That's very true. Most the ones I've come across haven't been in the best shape. Kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
