I'm not a builder, but I like the side-addition. https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/tag/6161812290.html Is it another of those Noel Thomas houses? Made by Ray Urch sp?

Someone up here on Bainbridge Island had one for sale a couple years back and that's what they said in the ad. Those houses show up once in a while but I really don't like it all the much myself and I think trying to get windows to fit would be difficult.

1martinimomma Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 This is a really pretty Lawbre in Elgin IL.

Some people just don't know anything about dollhouses. He said it was unused, new condition, still sealed in box. I drive over to pick it up and all the pieces had been punched out, the outside pieces of the house had been painted. WTH, that's not my definition of new. Unfortunately, he was not at the store (resale shop) for me to point out the problems of having a dollhouse kit that was already opened and the manufacturer is now out of business. I did tell the salesperson helping me, and so far he has not relisted it on ebay. I told them that if he relists it he should note that box is open, and it's been partially started. So, no Linfield dollhouse for me today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a reasonable price for all that and the work done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear this - but glad you didn't get stuck with it. How disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodentraiser Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I have a hunch a lot of the furniture in that house is Bespaq. Maybe that's why she thinks it's worth so much.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsbeth Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 This item has sold - but I really like how it is an all-in-one kitchen unit. Stove/sink/storage.

queenannediva Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Someone is calling this a Dura Craft but it is an RGT First Lady: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dura-Craft-Victorian-Mansion-Assembled-Wood-Dollhouse-VM800-Ready-To-Decorate-/192214766815?hash=item2cc0e494df:g:XNMAAOSwFqNZPf~n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You know, if I had that First Lady, I'd raise the roof over on the addition and then move the tower over to that side, creating an open patio between the main house and the tower room. *sigh* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I emailed the seller to tell her what it is. I passed up a chance to get a half scale First Lady a few years ago and have always regretted it. It's not that different from some other houses I already have in my stash (the Elizabeth Anne and the Houseworks Victorian), but there's something about the look of the house that really appeals to me. Who am I kidding, though, if I had one it would just sit with all the other kits, unbuilt and sulking... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
