Welcome to CardboardChristmas 2.0
With the help of a very nice contractor, we have control of this page again, plus its on an updated
server that should be less prone to hacking.
If you're new to this page, welcome. Our goal is to keep alive the tradition of putz house
collection, documentation, restoration, and construction. Our members include several of the most
prestigious collectors, restorers, and builders I've ever come across.

If you have an unusual piece that you have questions about, this is the place to post them. Photos are VERY welcome, though it helps if you reduce them to 800 wide before you upload them. If you can't reduce them yourself, post them anyway and I'll try to reduce them when I have time.
Found in the same Goodwill as the tiny cardboard castle/stockade set, three houses in a more common pattern, with tiny holes apparently for mini-lights.

Not sure I've seen glitter on the front edge of this style before. The bottlebrush trees have a bit of white or clear needles near the bottom. Interesting that the bottom of one is unpainted but obviously from the same set.
Back in the 1980's my mother gave me a set of these and they were new at the time. I still have them somewhere - never throw anything away! I think they came in a header bag with 3 in them. Tom
That would be a first for me.
