In my quest to track down vintage Old West buildings suitable for ohhh, let's say anything from about 45mm to 60mm figures I guess, comes this odd building from Payton. While I've blogged Payton Little Green Army Men before - they were a favorite of mine as a kid - this is the first time blogging any of their Old West toys which I don't recall having as a kid. I called this piece 'odd' because Payton sold it as a 'cabin' but really, it just looks more like a blockhouse for a fort than it does a cabin. But hey, it does add variety!
Some months back, the pieces for this cabin came in a couple of separate job lots. Apparently the aqua roof would normally have been paired with aqua walls but I'm liking this combination much better! The walls 3 3/4" sq., the roof 4 1/4" sq. and it's 3 1/4"H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Welp! That's a pretty-little-thing I've not seen before Ed, was the all-Aqua one for dolls or something? looks much better with brown walls!

I'm guessing Payton just mixed and matched wall colors and roof colors with whatever they had coming off the assembly line. I know of aqua, dark brown, chocolate brown, tan, and blue being used for the cabins and teepees.
