A sweet little Gottschalk house from 1921




This smallI dollhouse was produced by the 
German firm Gottscalk in 1921. 

Here is a picture of this house found in the
 catalog pages discovered by Marianne and Jurgen Cieslik 
of all Gottschalk products from 1892 through 1931.



It is 15½" tall, 15" wide




and 10" deep.



The porch moves aside, and the front side of the house 
opens to show two rooms to furnish. 



It is currently furnished with 
a few pieces of Gottschalk furniture.



The back side of the roof opens to show an additional room. 
It looks like, in this little house, it has always 
been used as an attic and not a living space.

A Little Soapbox Dollhouse

 



This sweet little dollhouse started out as a 
Punch Studio box with two scented soaps.
It is the home of Wendt and Kuhn dollies from Germany.
It lives in Wisconsin with my friend Jamie.




Jamie fashioned a front door 
for the dollies that live in this little house.



I see one of the dollies is pulling a wagon of goodies....
I wonder if a party is planned?





And another dolly pulling a buggy with her baby 
and carrying a large yellow star banner.





Someone else is anticipating a party...
and brought her teddy bear with her!




In a room of this little house we find a mother waking 
her little one so they can enjoy the party together.







"It's time for the party!"




And here is our hostess!




Looks like she has everything ready for a fun party!




I hope she can slice the cake while she is holding that balloon.


Thank you Jamie for sharing your little soap box dollhouse 
and your delightful Wendt and Kuhn dollies from Germany with us!
