The only thing that looks unique is a needlepoint rug. Wondering if I'm missing something and there is a great treasure there...I need to rethink taking my bins of old furniture the goodwill lol https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112628708040 I don't get it either.

The furniture is vintage. Some people want the real deal. I have an old box of 1920s furniture. I just love it. Also, there are some nice accessories in there - but $300? Wow. I like it all, tho. BUT, there is a lot stuff from the 70s in there. And I guess that is vintage now, but back in my day it was the cheaper stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ebay description is so detailed - I wonder why they are sending it away? You can investigate! lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldenrodfarm Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I will call my nephew and see what he can tell me, he knows most islanders because he owns the boat yard. Can’t be that many from Germany, they mostly have English and Scottish backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people don't know what they're selling. I bought a miniature punchbowl once for $5 and it's sterling silver and marked on the bottom.

fov Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 This is interesting: https://boston.craigslist.org/nwb/fuo/d/raffle-20-ea-timberlina/6370980015.html I was going to say it's the Houseworks front opening Victorian but one of the pictures shows instructions with the name Timberlina, which Google suggests is a manufacturer in the UK. It looks well made.

I love the wood so much. I found a 1999 newspaper article (http://www.sundaytimes.lk/990530/plus10.html) about them just now and it looks like it might have been made in Sri Lanka by a husband and wife team. I can't actually find the name of the newspaper so I'm not absolutely positive about that but I think that's right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 That's pretty cool. The wood is beautiful. It's so close to the Houseworks dollhouse, I bet they built them off the Houseworks plan book. Here's a roombox from a Ric Pierce class in California, no price listed: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/clt/d/1-12-scale-dollhouse-roombox/6388115810.html This is nice - I like the symmetry - but that second floor window right next to the porch door is a tad too big/close IMO. (I love it otherwise but now that I've noticed that I can't stop seeing it!) I wonder if it's a scratch build? Looks like there's a brass nameplate screwed on but the picture isn't close up enough to read it. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/d/gorgeous-work-of-heart/6386452801.html Ooh, and look at this Queen Anne by Fred Davis. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/clt/d/san-francisco-queen-anne/6385904296.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thimble Hall Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Does anyone recognize these, they are on Craigs list near me The first 2 are of the same house, it is partially built apparently, the second shows the kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Don't recognize the first two, the third is the Petite Dreams house that was sold by XLarge Machine at Target. They came prepainted in that blue. The third looks like a RGT's Country Victorian that's been put together a little funky in regards to the second story porch..
