Rating: Summary: A Great Resource Review: I purchased three books on tin toys and dollhouses, and this one was the best by far to help me evaluate some tin/metal doll houses I was buying.The book sections are by the doll house maker, with excellent photographs that help identify them, and estimated years that they were sold. In addition there are photographs of the furniture that you would typically find in these houses. This helps alot if you have just purchased an empty doll house, and you want to furnish it with vintage items of the correct size and type. Simply an excellent reference book for tin doll house collectors or just old-timers wanting a bit of nostalgia :)
Rating: Summary: An excellent reference to tin litho houses. Review: Mary Brett has written the Bibile of Tin Litho houses. Excellent pictures of the houses detail their interiors, exteriors and the furniture needed to make them cosy little homes. All major producers are covered, Marx, Cohn, Wolverine to mention just a few. Ms. Brett also includes a section on the more unusual items, such as the rare and unique Friendly Folks Motel. Better buy two copies, this book is destined to become dog-earred and worn before very long.
