Elsbeth Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 $239 is such a nice price for such a charming and interestingly decorated folk art house.

I'm curious to know what the floorplans look like on these or any other wisdom about the houses/company anyone wants to share. FYI, if anyone else is thinking about bidding I bought a Hofco from this seller last spring and she was excellent. Very friendly and communicative and she didn't wait days and days to ship it (shipped it first thing the next morning IIRC). I don't know much about the company, but Afton did make quite a few nice dollhouses. Their roofs (rooves?) seemed to be very steep and high - that's one way I ID them, Older catalogs still have pictures of Afton houses and I have one catalog from The Dollhouse Factory that listed their houses.

madtex1967 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It's been relisted at a lower price of $15.00! Shipping is only $55, so for $70 you will have a GREAT kit. It is a bit heavy, so the shipping price is not out of line. These are really nice kits. Tab and Slot construction like GL, but are of 1/4" plywood. I would buy it, but already have this one in my stash and definitely don't need another! I am envisioning mine as a great Bate's house with an addition of a center tower. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-SKIL-CRAFT-VICTORIAN-MANOR-W-COACH-HOUSE-NO-6830-UN-ASSEMBLED/264560741157?epid=24035606823&hash=item3d990c8b25:g:ekcAAOSwJUBd5rug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsbeth Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 This Joan Anglund dollhouse brings back some 1970s memories - if you don't recognize the name, you might recognize the artwork. I had no idea there was a dollhouse. It's cardboard so I was a little surprised shipping is $55, but I guess it is unwieldy/large. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1979-JOAN-WALSH-ANGLUND-Rare-Cardboard-Victorian-Doll-House-Book-Paper-Doll-Card/352879551212?hash=item522942a2ec:g:g~sAAOSwt0Fd4af3 I'd love to shrink it down to 1:48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, whoever outbid me didn't bid enough, because the seller ended the listing early, for the reason of "The item is not available anymore". &, golly gee whiz, it just got relisted at a $400 "Buy it Now" auction.

She says that as part of the backstory --- I think she meant that the house was decorated as if she were the decorator in the 1930s, not that the decorating took place in the 1930s.
