It's an all metal construction -no wood whatsoever- and quite worn and rusty, which gives it the magical, 'spooky' appearance which I love so much! I believe it to be a Triang, but I'm not sure.

It has a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and two other big rooms that can be used for various purposes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The girls play, fully absorbed in the magical world of children's make-believe, and their spirited chatter sounds like music to the ears of their proud dad. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">These are the precious moments of happiness that are revealed to those who have the wisdom and open heart to recognize and value them.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixL3o5zaqwu9_0FRcQvkOgv5LtjNW6WvjdLG0bQj6Fgm8uQOLxH41W51GVEqY3pkTgwtklBr0P4yhhI42n444JWFHGarvq1w2zTE_8ccBKKYsbAuqAwPFkc4pRZ43KIzVd5WvV_X8Zsum6GEHUdR3Pv8rTbitnOaqqy-UAdgTXaYscTBTLjFDPQ3f1ag/s514/20230222_030014_01-04BWKT%20(3)W.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="514" data-original-width="514" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixL3o5zaqwu9_0FRcQvkOgv5LtjNW6WvjdLG0bQj6Fgm8uQOLxH41W51GVEqY3pkTgwtklBr0P4yhhI42n444JWFHGarvq1w2zTE_8ccBKKYsbAuqAwPFkc4pRZ43KIzVd5WvV_X8Zsum6GEHUdR3Pv8rTbitnOaqqy-UAdgTXaYscTBTLjFDPQ3f1ag/s320/20230222_030014_01-04BWKT%20(3)W.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span face="" style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">© 2023

Its width is 4,5 cm and is 6 cm deep (for my American friends, that is: 3.54x17.7x2.36 inches).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">The house is made of plywood and is covered with paper. The inside is an empty space with no floors, but that can be changed if desired. I have no idea about her age, but I wouldn't be surprised if she's from 1950s vintage.</span><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKDxzwqcv5uIyeKNQjLUTJy1OUu17rYKF2CspbGMZm75AT-pL_DNsONFmhztILYsfpfcHpgn4IDrCB02tNh9NW0TpBDfw3FsPNKbZxblptb0Kq7cmORWoNieBSNzl5t3liRtB2u-bMjkcav6WZeZsLapBqha-2oqQ80x6XNqovx6i7JRsc__6axA_2Q/s569/20230222_025200BWKT3W.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="296" height="451" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKDxzwqcv5uIyeKNQjLUTJy1OUu17rYKF2CspbGMZm75AT-pL_DNsONFmhztILYsfpfcHpgn4IDrCB02tNh9NW0TpBDfw3FsPNKbZxblptb0Kq7cmORWoNieBSNzl5t3liRtB2u-bMjkcav6WZeZsLapBqha-2oqQ80x6XNqovx6i7JRsc__6axA_2Q/w234-h451/20230222_025200BWKT3W.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Ubuntu;">I'm thrilled with this little gem, as she mimics the 'look' of my bigger dolls houses perfectly. Just like her 'big sisters' she shows her age, and that makes her so fascinating! I couldn't wish for a better item to decorate one of my dolls houses with!</span><br /></p><p> <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span face="" style="color: #666666; font-size: x-small; text-align: center;">© 2023
