Come in to visit my little mouse house.
This is the home of six little mice.
Meet Coco and Mortimor Hobbs and baby Boink.
Upstairs we find Fritz and Ziggy
kick-boxing on the top bunks.
And here comes Marvin down the hall on his 3-wheeler....
turn around and back again....what fun!
oops!
"Not hurt! Not hurt!" and off he goes again!
Marvin!!
We will roll you off the edge if you don't stop it!
Looks like mom is getting ready for cheese....
boys in the dining room
....parents in the kitchen....for a peaceful meal.
Cheese time!
A quiet and plesant room for Coco and Mort.
Coco insisted on twin beds.
A bath in pink tells you
just who makes the decisions in this household.
Boink likes to sit on the cozy rug while he nibbles his cheese.
Mort likes to enjoy a bit of wine before his meal.
And with his meal. And after his meal.
Mort is thinking he has a comfortable life.
Coco knows Mort has a comfortable life.
This is a Keystone of Boston dollhouse produced in 1950.
Two other Keystone dollhouses were produced with
the same/similar graphics and color scheme.
One of them, the small Put-Away model, is in my collection.
I haven't located an actual picture of the third house. The following advertisement for it appeared in 1951. If you have one of these houses, I would love to see pictures of it. You can contact me at florinebettge@comcast.net. If you just want to talk about dollhouses or share some pictures of the ones you have, you may contact me about that also!
Strombecker sets are found in the kitchen....
a table and chair set plus a fridge and stove from 1942,
and a kitchen sink from 1933-36 production.
In the dining room, also from Strombecker, is a table and 4 chairs from 1942
and a buffet from 1947 that is missing the base.
The 2 chairs with pointed tips on the backrest are from 1935.
The Strombecker end tables were produced in 1941. Kage made dollhouse furniture from 1938 to 1948. The fireplace is one of their earlier models
with a beveled mantel and 5 flutes on the pilasters.
The chair and sofa are a rare find of flocked Plasco dollhouse items.
This model of the bunk beds were first seen in
The pink bath fixtures come from Japan. The Strombecker bath stool appeared
in their 1955 catalog with the 1" scale furniture.
This Strombecker bedroom set was first produced in 1933
and offered in pink and green. Later, in 1936,
it was sold unfinished. My set is a lovely shade of yellow.
The Hobbs Family
are Kunstlerschutz/Wagner animals from West Germany.
and the house pets!
