Two Tray based Houses, Gumball pink & Cottontop Hacianda

Post by **Tom Hull** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 2:11 am

Here are two unusual tray based houses that have elements of the hacienda style but in a very different way.
The first has pink stucco walls and eraser prints in blue & red. The purple on the roof is very similar to the later painted hacienda roofs. In some ways the other house is even odder and clearly a precursor of the haciendas with that front portico. But the colors are quite wilde and A cotton topper EVEN on the chimney. This is one of the few haciendas in a cottentopper.
Notice the little doors in the back make these quite early probably before 1933.

So Tom. How many houses are in your collection.

You post so many pictures. I figured you have a large collection.

Hi, Tom. Welcome back. Are you sure the pink house doesn't have the measles?

Neat houses, thanks for sharing, the tray bases are super cool! I love how many different elements from the different style houses are on that cotton top hacienda. Throw a little figure in the front yard and it would just about have them all!
