Bliss Keyhole Dolls House circa 1909
I bought this house about five years ago from a lady I never did meet, but sold her two of my own houses in return, all by telephone!
Tri-ang Stockbroker Dolls House circa 1950s
The outside is believed to be original but I repapered the inside as by the time I took posession of it, someone had totally emulsioned the interior. The house is approx. 4ft wide so quite large.

Kitchen: Tri-ang kitchen range, Tri-ang dresser and another dresser thought to be German. The doll is a china headed one. The green dresser is modern.
Top Left Bedroom: Barton Tudor bed, the other furniture is possibly German (unsure). The fireplace is Tri-ang. There is a lovely German tin crystal radio set.
Top Right Bedroom: Again Barton Tudor furniture.
Bottom Right Downstairs: Barton table and chairs, dresser and Tudor Cupboard. A china head doll and two German dolls.
The Following Two Houses Are Modern But Filled With A Mixture Of Old & New Items

It was made by Steve Hilbert originally for my friend, who then had to move house and due to lack of space, kept just the basic house but sold the two extensions to me. So what you see are the two extensions pushed together.
Photo a: Top left room is all Japanese & Chinese items, some from charity shops and all relatively modern. Middle left, a snooker table by Dough Woodyard, again modern.
Photos b,c & d: Many items in all of these three rooms are plastic from the 1960s Petite Princess range, beautifully made and some are hand painted. In photo c: I am waiting to find out if some furniture is German Spielwaren. All other furniture is modern and painted gold. In photo d: Mac the gardener can be seen at the foot of the stairs, he has fallend down!
The other dolls are Scarlett O'Hara and Red Butler, who fell over just as his photo was being taken (can't see him but he should be in photo c)!
The Bookcellar By George Parker
This is a modern built house however amongst the furnishings you will notice some very old pieces.
The bottom floor has modern wall units, some books made by me and an old Japanese bamboo cane furniture set. The middle floor has an old German Piano (may be Gottschalk, not sure), the rest mostly modern.
Top left bedroom has an old German Suite, again possibly Gottschalk (not sure).
Lines No.31 circa 1909

This is a Lines No.31 measuring approx. 33 inches high, 24 1/2 inches wide and 18 inches deep. The fireplaces were taken from Lines No.32 that I sold. As you can see its been totally repapered on the inside walls with lovely antique wallpaper from KT Miniatures, the floors are original though.
The brick paper on the outside is original but the roof is a replacement paper and the front has been repainted.
Lines No.35 circa 1915
This is a Lines No 35, measuring 20" high x 19" wide x 11" deep. The house has its original decoration on the outside but most rooms apart from the bottom left, have again been repapered with antique wallpaper from KT Miniatures.
There is some Barton Tudor furniture in the house.
