Take a look at the 2nd floor bathroom - the wall is hinged and swings open so you can get into it - I LOVE THAT!!!!!! I'm pretty sure that's a Hofco. I would look it up but I still haven't gotten the last 5 bags of books and magazines back. I originally had 10 huge bags full. I got 5 back and sorted, none of which had my catalogs. That was almost two weeks ago. Then I was doing something else, the guy with the key to the room was sick for a week, Monday was a holiday, Tuesday I went grocery shopping, and yesterday Jim said he would call me today about when he would meet me to unlock the room where everything is.

It is adorable and New Englandy!!! This one is packed with lace trims: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lovely-Victorian-Dollhouse-Furnished/192226378498 This seems nice for $299: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Room-Dollhouse-3-Stories-Furnished-More/282676710210 I would have to check, but that looks like Lawbre slate on the floor in the last pic. I can't really tell, though. That second house is the bargain I'd grab in a heartbeat if I were there. That's an American Craft Products 'Victorian' and that's another house I've been wanting for years. I just love it, but alas, I don't think I'm going to be able to pick it up.

Elsbeth Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 This is interesting - and it has a 2 story ceiling in the family room. I'd make it over to be hyper-70s or 80s style. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Vintage-Wooden-Dollhouse-Handmade-w-Fireplace-Furniture-Dolls/263253140673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like there is quite a strip of open to the sky since the roof doesn’t curve around the fireplace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Barbara, that section of the roof is hinged to open . That end wall looks none too sturdy, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha....nope! Haha.. Well, I can't see the US shipping charges so I can't determine the value from that point, I can only see the sale price. For me the shipping was $177 to Australia, which is a little high but isn't a completely out of the realm for a box of that size and weight so I assumed it would be similarly a little high but not ridiculous price for US buyers as well.. Apparently not. They have a make an offer button, so if I lived in the US I would have made an offer that rounded the whole price (including shipping) to $100. To me that would be a decent price to pay for that kit.. But, as with everything.. it's only worth what someone is willing to pay right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Sam, I agree that $100 would be a decent price except for the fact that they noted that the kit "appear to be complete". The buyer will have to take a chance. I would round to $80 including shipping, that after the experience that I have shipping kits in the US, it is very possible that they will pay around $35 to send it here. I have one of this kits, mine have the box in bad shape but inside is intact and it's complete. Not sure when will I build it, nor if I will ever build it.Lol!
