A tin-litho dollhouse was every little girl’s dream back in the 1950s and 1960s.
Children all over America and beyond played with and loved these metal dollhouses, and at the height of their popularity Sears, Montgomery Ward and JC Penney sold them through Christmas catalogues by the millions.
Today, vintage metal dollhouses of that era remain among the most popular and sentimental collectible items. Unfortunately, the dozens of small and delicate plastic accessory parts that accompanied these houses were often lost to the ages: stepped on, broken, or disappeared into the carpet and vacuumed up, never to be seen again. Collectors today struggle to find complete vintage dollhouses with all of these crucial parts and most have to resign themselves to either displaying houses that are incomplete or broken, or finding another house to cannibalize for parts which is something that true collectors are loathe to do.
Dollhouse3DParts’ mission is to solve this problem by providing a variety of plastic 3D printed accessory replacement parts that are engineered to retrofit precisely onto specific Marx and Wolverine tin-litho dollhouses of the 1950s and 1960s. All replacement parts are produced in white plastic to allow for painting in any color desired and are made with care and attention to detail.
We are a small group of dollhouse enthusiasts helping other collectors restore these beloved vintage dollhouses to their former glory. Contact us with any questions, and thanks for taking the time to read our story!
