I am sure this is placement was not artfully constructed, but the gods made it so. Peoples, this is what the future holds for our homes, if we don’t continue to lavish our Tender Loving Care upon them. You are doing a Good Thing.
Hi Pam, thanks for the note. My name is Jerry. I posted the listing for the mid century miniature house. There’s not much of a story behind the listing: it was purchased at an auction by one of my consignors here in Columbus, Ohio, who thought it was interesting enough to spend money on.
The only problem is obviously the condition, which is quite poor. If it were in good condition it would be worth significantly more. Looks like it was in the basement with the mice for quite some time. The “dead body” is just a cardboard cutout figure that was probably made with the house.
I have sold all kinds of things on the internet over the years, mainly items that come from houses such as furniture, collectibles, antiques etc. I do sell quite a bit of mid century furniture. I have no problem with you using the photos I took for your blog, but it’s not very representative of most things I sell.
If you have any questions or want to buy the model, give me a call.
I got a kick out of your view on the piece.
Thank you, Jerry. I hope it goes to a … good home.
What a shame this neato dollhouse went to near ruin. I hope somebody picked it up & restored it as much as possible. When I look at it, it looks like house you’d see in cartoons from the 60’s. Somebody spent a good deal of time making this-I really appreciate that in “finds”.
Holy heck, I think it’s perfect just the way it is! As someone who loves urban decay and anything broken down, dilapidated, falling apart, rusted almost beyond recognition, this is just beautiful to me. I can only hope to come across something just like this someday….
