1969 CREATIVE PLAYTHINGS Limbrick Sturdy Large Dollhouse - $250 (Port Townsend)
QR Code Link to This Post
The house is in good condition for its age, very clean, no odors. There is a chip that is dark on one side of the roof that may have been transit damage from previous owners, and some small marks on the walls (see in the photos). Some fading is on the floors where previous happy children had placed rugs. None of these disclosures affect the construction and stability (we took the photos in a sunny day).
The open plan and high ceilings of the house are not only ideal for more than one child to enjoy, but we had been using it as a modern and visually appealing way to display collectables, with a 360 degree viewing.
House measures 24" high, 24" deep. It has eight rooms, each measuring about 12" square. It can be stored flat if needed. The 1963 design by Roger Limbrick won awards in the UK and his prototype is now in the Victoria & Albert Museum.
We have also listed some Creative Playthings furniture that we will not need.
The highly distressed original box still features its authentic vintage shipping label from Greenman Bros., Inc (Farmingdale, NY). They were the premier mid-century toy distribution giants whose leadership was later inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame. It’s a verifiable trail linking to the golden age of American toy history.
Cash, Port Townsend pick up.
