    I came across a dollhouse this weekend at a local flea market. It was a great price for $28 and is surprisingly very sturdy!

    I have been trying to ID the house to no avail on multiple miniature forums and facebook groups. Hopefully someone here can help me!

    I have had two other people mention they had this exact house. One mentioned hers had a porch on the front but did not know the maker either.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Shag carpets! If contemporary to the house then 1960s/1970s.

    Its virtually impossible to find out who designed it . Im sure it came from a kit that some loving grandpa put together. 60s is about right . Very cute,love the shingled roof. Id rip that carpet out and put in some hardwood floors (kit from Hobby Lobby,super easy and cheap) the re-paper and decorate away . :)

    I'd like to even find out what kit they may have made it from if that makes sense?
    It is a cute house! I've already began to tear out the carpeting and found a few treasures under the carpet!

    What I've found so far. They must have rolled back in the shag carpet gap and went underneath over time.

    Someone had quite a dollhouse if they not only had furniture but little handheld items like this. Are they 1:12 scale? Pipe looks a bit large.

    I believe they all are 1:12 scale. They look larger than what they are I think because of the way I took the photo.
