I don’t know a lot about dollhouse furniture, but my grandmother collected it in the 1940s and ‘50s. I thought one day I’d decorate a dollhouse, but I haven’t, so time to let someone else.
“Plastic became the choice material for American doll hous...e furniture manufacturers in the 1940’s during World War II. Wood and metal were necessary materials in the war effort, and therefore the new process of plastic moulding became more widely integrated into the domestic marketplace. The hard plastic items could be intricately detailed including the maker’s name. Plasco, Ideal, and Renwal made hard plastic doll house furniture in the 1950s and, as the pieces are usually marked, can be easily identified by the collector.”I definitely combine shipping!
