Well a three year search has at last been rewarded.
Here is the ultimate in tin litho dollhouses--The Bomb Shelter House. Without
a doubt the rarest of all Marx houses, this house was produced in 1962
only. It was inspired by President John F.
Kennedy's appeal to the citizens of the U.S. to be ready for nuclear war
if the Cold War with Russia should take a turn for the worst. The house however
was not a big seller, and thusly it is very difficult to find. The house
came with the rare Dutch door.
The inside of the house was exactly the same as most colonials, with the exception of the garage being replaced by the bombshelter.
The BOMB SHELTER...
And here it is....the one room that makes this item a collectors
must have.
NOTE: The folding cots, which are extrememly hard to find.
I need two more to complete the set. Also needed - a round table.
And a view of the other wall.
The special Dutch
door.
A super house indeed!!!!!!!!!!
THE FURNITURE
This house used the 1/2 inch traditional furniture.
The bombshelter had the folding cots and sink seen above. It also included two patio chairs with arms and a round table as seen in the rec room. All the furniture was brown in colour.
FURNITURE.................Note: the utility room furniture was not included with this house as there was no utility room.
