Toy-wise, we're going to end the year with another series of vintage houses. The seller listed these as 1940s Built-Rite buildings and while I have no doubts they're from the 1940s I'm not convinced they're Built-Rite. There are no makers marks anywhere on the buildings and the cardboard is way to thin - highly untypical of Built-Rite's heavier stock. I'm including the brick wall in this post. The house measures 3 3/4" (9.5cm) W x 2 1/2" (6.4cm) D x 3 7/8" (98.cm) H . The wall measures a total of 6 1/4" (15.9cm) long but that includes a portion on each end which is meant to bent back allowing it to stand. It is 1 3/8" (6cm) H. Enjoy!
(I love these 'Auto Awesome' enhancements in Google's Picassa web albums)

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! The old style graphics are nice aren't they? We hope you're able to build it successfully.
DeleteGood post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Appreciate it! Vintage Oaks Custom Home Builder
ReplyDeleteWhen this was posted back in 2013 all I had was a few loose buildings that all appeared to be from the same set as none of them are marked as to manufacturer. Since then I did acquire a boxed set. That being said, I would now have to dig it out and re-do the entire series which I'm afraid is a project for another day.
