Play-Town Dollhouse
No.200
Manufactured by the Sutherland Paper Company in Kalamazoo, Michigan
This house is 18" high X 23" wide X 12.5" deep and it put together with brass fold-tab brads.
This cardboard house contains 7 rooms with printed floor and the front is removable. The house dates from the early 1930's when it was marketed in catalogs for $1. Here we are 75 years later and I payed significantly more. The house sold for $1.77 in 1934 with 42 pieces of Strombecker furniture ( see ad below). This was the inspiration for me to start collecting the smaller scale painted Strombecker furniture to furnish it.
