rodentraiser Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 They're just not making dollhouses, is all. https://walmerenterprises.com/history-walmer-enterprises/ https://walmerenterprises.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffonfeathers Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 WOW! I had no idea. Sadly, they're probably making a lot more money in cabinetry than they ever did in dollhouses. Thanks for this. Now I feel like I learned something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtex1967 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Now I understand why Designer Home Int'l windows are just like Walmer windows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I actually did know this -- as I've spoken with Lorraine several times(Walmer's daughter) as they do still have a number of old dollhouse plans, and thankfully have shared them as I've come across kits that are hardly seen, that were by them. She's always been extremely helpful if she can be, though given I've got a couple kits by them that she was unable to help on and I've had to look elsewhere for directions on them. lol She's also a lovely font of information in regards to what they called their "drop down" design dollhouses, and how they came up with them to make it easier for children to disassemble them when their parents were moving to different army bases. Probably one of the reasons I love the old Walmer houses is that simple point of history right there! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 My Walmer Old Town was a drop down until I made it into a permanent structure. There is no way 20 lbs of travertine and construction adhesive is ever coming down. http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/?app=gallery&module=gallery&controller=browse&album=6726 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Kelli, what do you mean by plans? Actual plans to build the houses with or just instructions to build their kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minikelli Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I meant specifically the instructions for their old kits. They still have a good number, but I've got a few kits they made that she wasn't able to get me the instructions for -- their A-Frame Cabin, as well as the Bay Mansion. It took me 3 years roughly to finally be able to locate the instructions for that one! Now that I've got them saved, once I get the nerves up to start working on it it'll be a few years before you'll see me again! (Just kidding... I think!)

havanaholly Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I don't suppose there's any way they'll start producing dollhouse kits again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 From what I understand, the RGT Lilliput line is the Walmer line so Walmer probably doesn't have the rights anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Wow really? I never see anything for them. Going to Google them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
