Built-Rite House No.3 -Scans

Toys & Stuff continues its look at those wonderful little cardboard buildings made by Built-Rite in the 1930s with Built-Rite House No.3. As in the past, we'll feature the scans of each part today and follow with the isometric photos next week. While doing the scans, I noticed something a little strange in Built-Rite's numbering system. The commercial buildings all had a "56-" prefix while the houses have no prefix, yet without the prefix the buildings still appear to be in sequence. For example, today we feature #3, which is a house. #56-2 was the School and #56-4 is the Drug Store but there doesn't appear to have been a #56-3 building anywhere except for the house! Hmmmmm, I'll to keep looking. In any case - Enjoy!



As with the other buildings, the walls are one long piece, which doesn't fit on the scanner platen, therefore the scans have been split in two
