Strombecker
DeLuxe Genuine American Black Walnut Doll House Furniture
1930's - 1950's
Each piece is stamped in gold letters on the bottom "Strombecker Genuine Walnut"
My goal is to find out information about each piece, its propper name, dimensions and part number.
(any help would be appreciated)

Hi Troy. What a great collection, especially the tea wagon. Hows this for a coincidence? I recently found an interesting site which actually had Strombecker furniture - your little flip top table is on there. If you have not found this site have a look.
