Moving on up to the Westside....to a Keystone single Put-A-Way

 

The Vlags put their Rich Toys house up for sale 

before moving on up to the Westside...

(of the dollhouse village....OK one of the 3 dollhouse villages in my house.)  

You can read about the Vlags Rich Toys home  here.

Here is Roberta Vlag taking one last thing 

from their home before the movers arrive. 

She is excited about her new home

 and wants to show it to you.

This is Keystone of Boston's single "Put-A-Way" dollhouse.

One room pivots into the base of the house, 

plus the roof is removable for easier play. 

This dollhouse has six rooms on two floors 

and is furnished with lovely Canadian Reliable dollhouse furniture.

This larger Put-A-Way design 

has one extension that houses the kitchen. 

 Extra features are found in this house that

 make the house appealing to little girls...and their moms. 

Reliable's cream and blue kitchen set goes great 

in Roberta's new blue and white kitchen. 

 Extra features found in the kitchen are 

a cabinet under the window and 

a partition over the window indicating cabinets. 

In maroon and white, the dining room  is just

 the right size for Roberta's 9 piece dining room set. 

An extra feature in the dining room is the coved bookshelf

with a cabinet below and doors that open for storage. 

The living room opens to the left of the front door and is spacious enough for the furniture brought from the Vlag's former home. The lovely carpets and window curtains accompanied this dollhouse from the former owner.

An extra feature in the living room 

is the staircase to the second floor. 

Above the kitchen is the patio 

were Roberta and Robert relax and the children play.

Robin and Robby share a bedroom just like they did in their Rich Toys home. 

Mom brought the pictures from their room to hang in their new house.

  

 The bathroom is found between the two bedrooms.

 Roberta is a bit disappointed  

that it is so much smaller than in their previous home. 

But she is pleased they now have a staircase to get to the upper floor.

Did you guess what was behind the door? 

Yes, that's where the staircase ends....

and that is the original shower curtain.

Reliable's bedroom furniture is ornate and lovely

 and fits nicely in their blue and white bedroom. 

 I see Roberta has already hung her favorite sign over the sink.

Roberta and Robby are playing in their room. 

Robby is riding their "ole yaller" bronco 

and Roberta is waiting patiently for her turn.

Robby is still riding.

Roberta is still waiting patiently. 

 Roberta has decided to play with her dollhouse 

while Robby continues to ride their "ole yaller" bronco.

Now Roberta is on the patio riding their tricycle....except

 her feet don't reach the petals so she sits there and pretends to ride.

Looks like Roberta is checking out the toy box while Robby continues to ride.

AH!  SUCCESS!

I think Reliable's color combo of cream and bright blue is one of the more attractive plastic dollhouse kitchen pieces made.

The dining room buffet and china cabinet have the same

 ornate design as found in the bedroom furniture. 

The living room was produced in both red and blue.  

The lamps are American made by Jaydon.

  

Additional pieces for the living room are 

the fireplace, tea table, radio and grand piano.

Youth beds and potty chairs came in both pink and blue.

The youth beds were sold as a bunk bed set. 

An attractive bath set in pink was also available.

Little girls must have loved this fancy bedroom set.

Also available for the bedroom were 

the chest of drawers, the man's dresser and a sewing machine.

Reliable was licensed by an American firm, 

Ideal Toy Company, to copy some of its products.

Below is a comparison between some of

the Reliable dollhouse products (on the left)

 and the same pieces sold by Ideal (on the right).

Zillner and Cooper's Antique and Collectible Dollhouses share 

that the floor radio, grand piano 

and the dining room chairs (like the Ideal kitchen chairs)

were also made from the Ideal Toy Co. molds.

And now my little Keystone Put-A-Way is put away.
