LisaC Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 My JA dollhouse is in wonderful condition, but it is missing a few little things. One of them being a newel post on the second floor stairs. I’ve looked at a bunch of newel posts online and have not seen a matching one — does this look familiar to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenannediva Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Stairs look like Lawbre. They sell them by a package of four on the website but are not pictured. You might want to send your pic to Teri and she can identify if it is hers. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thank you, I bet you are right. One of the other things that is missing is one of the finials (not sure if that’s the correct name) on the roof, and last night I was able to find the pieces to make it in my Lawbre catalogue, so it would make sense if the newels were from Lawbre, too. Unfortunately, my catalog only shows the newel posts attached to staircases, and I’m not able to see enough of the detail to make sure they match. Looks pretty close though, so I went and ordered a set to try, since I was ordering the finial components anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think I have a bunch of these newel posts that I got from The Dollhouse Factory back in the 80s. This was the old Dollhouse Factory before it was sold to the current owners, and I may be wrong, but I think that store has now gone out of business. I have these posts in various heights, so if you could send me the length of the bottom (from the ground up to the top of the square base), I could look and see if mine matches. OK, then, as I was sitting here, I realized that the posts and balusters were an arm's length from me, so I photographed them the best I could. Does this look like it would fit? Darn it, sorry for the sideways picture. I can't get it to go straight. I guess you'd have to save the image and flip it to compare it to your picture. Anyway, if you think this would fit, PM me your address and I'll get it sent out to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 You know, that would make sense that it would be from Lawbre. They have the windows for this dollhouse for sale on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
