Good afternoon…
Here are some plastic putz houses I recently acquired…yes…I know they are not cardboard…but “let me get by with posting them“…
...I sort of remember ted describing them as the “last gasp”…or something like that…near the “end of an era“…
Bases are about the size of a business card…heights from 3” to 5 ½” tall…the white plastic has yellowed with age…printed graphic wraps are colorful and highly detailed…light hole in the back fits the small clear or multi-color lights…I can find no copyright or country of origin…the date of manufacture was probably in the 60s or 70s…I have no idea as to how many came in a set of houses…
The main reason I got them was to use as a guide for making and posting a series of pattern for small, easy to make and houses…(note…they will not be exact copies)…hopefully I be able to post the patterns in 2013 on the forum for all to use…they will use small printed doors with red window material…
My very best regards…
Howard…

BTW, mine still sit beneath the mini-tree in our bedroom each Christmas. The cardboard ones sit downstairs under the trees there.
