THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE OLD / VINTAGE VERY HARD TO FIND CARDBOARD / WOODEN PAPER LITHO DOLLHOUSE "DOLLY'S PLAY HOUSE" (1875-1885) MADE BY MCLOUGHLIN BROS. THAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES. (I DID NOT SEE ANY MAKER'S NAME ON THE HOUSE, HOWEVER I DID USE THE "ANTIQUE AND COLLECTIBLE DOLLHOUSES AND THEIR FURNISHINGS" BY DIAN ZILLNER AND PATTY COOPER, PAGE 31).
THE HOUSE CAN BE FOLDED FLAT AND THE ROOF AND FRONT ARCHED WOODEN PIECE COMES OFF. (THE HOUSE IS ALL CARDBOAR...D, EXCEPT FOR THE WOODEN ARCH ON THE FRONT). WHEN IT IS SET UP IT MEASURES APPROX. 17 1/2" TALL X 11 1/4" WIDE X 9 1/4" DEEP. THE HOUSE HAS ONE FLOOR ON THE BOTTOM LEVEL AND ONE FLOOR ON THE TOP LEVEL. THE BOTTOM ROOM'S HEIGHT MEASURES APPROX. 8" HIGH. THE 2ND FLOOR'S ROOM HEIGHT IS APPROX. 9 1/2" HIGH (AT THE HIGHEST POINT). THE HOUSE IS MISSING THE BOTTOM FLOOR AND THE CHIMNEY.
THE DOLLHOUSE IS IN OVERALL VERY GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING THE AGE. IT DOES HAVE SOME WEAR, SMALL AMOUNT OF PAPER LOSS AND FADING (ONE THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE - SEE PICTURES). THE TOP OF THE CEILING FOR THE BOTTOM FLOOR IS A LITTLE TAN ON ONE END. THE ONE TAB ON THE WOODEN ARCH PIECE NEEDS TO BE REATTACHED TO THE HOUSE. THE SECOND FLOOR DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE VERY WELL. (YOU MAY WANT TO SECURE IT).
THIS IS A WONDERFUL AND RARE HOUSE THAT WOULD BE A FANTASTIC ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!
