liberty bell set on ebay - 1960s?

These look late to me. What do you all think? Made in Taiwan on side label.

Not bidding, just thought they were interesting.

Crazy they were made in Taiwan! Those windows and doors have to be almost exact copies of late Made in Japan houses. Maybe a sister company??? It's a cute set, although I prefer a little more variety.

I have a few of these in my collection. They are supposedly 60's, 70's.

I checked the corp. detail record for this company; one site says they dissolved in 1980, another in 1990.

It was later than the 60's because mom gave me some Tiawanese houses just like these but not a boxed set just a few. Likely from the 70's or 80's. Tom

The glitter on the edges and the bottle brush trees makes them look fairly late to me, so I won't argue with you. Still it's unusual to find even a 40-year old set in that good condition with the original box.

Not that I have room for anything else. . . .
