This is my small Trixytoy dollhouse made by the Durrel Company
in Boston, Massachuesetts in the late 1920s.
It is made of heavy cardboard and still in great shape
for a cardboard house approximately 88 years old.
The roof was originally red but has faded to tan.
Mine is a one room house with opening door
and 4 windows that still retain the original cellophane windows.
I made a stand alone wall divider
to give this grandma a bit of privacy.
Here is grandma's bedroom.
The dresser, chair, lamps, bed and bedside table are Strombecker from the early 1940s.
Grandma's comfy chair was made by Kage, 1938-48.
Grandma loves her open living room kitchen combo.
The sofa, chair, radio and end table are Strombecker from the mid 1940s.
Tweety, her little red bird, is kept in the kitchen
because he likes to spread his birdseed everywhere!
The sink, stove and table and chairs are from
Strombecker's 1934 production line.
The fridge is Kage, 1938-48.

Grandma does think this is her "Home Sweet Home"!
...advertised in the 1928 Sears catalog for $1.29
and included Tootsietoy furniture.
The Durrel Company also made Trixytoy furniture for their houses. This is the kitchen set, made in half inch to one foot scale, from four layers of cardboard glued together.
The dining room set....
two tables, 4 chairs, sideboard and server were made.

This add for my little house appeared in a 1920s toy flyer
issued by J F Colson & Co in St. Charles, Illinois.
Una verdadera joya, la abuela encantadora:-)
