ABOUT THE MAKER:
Strombecker, an American manufacturing company from the early 1900s, began production of colorful wooden 1" scale dollhouse furniture in 1931. In 1932 or 1933 they introduced the same furniture decorated with gold or silver swirls.
According to the book, "The Complete Guide to StromBecKer Dollhouse & Furniture 1931- 1961" by Patty Cooper and George Mundorf, this line of 1" scale colorful painted furniture with swirls was only produced for 2 years from 1932 to 1933.
From this point onward till 1961, they produced a wide variety of doll house furniture and accessories in both 1" scale (stained wood and flocked) and 3/4" scale stained, flocked and painted furniture mirroring the decorating tastes of the times.
