Hello fellow Putz People. I just finished another set of photos for the Collector's Guide and future Poster. The pictures are of a delicate set of OPEN BASE COCONUTS. They are only 4-1/8" wide x 2-2/5" deep x 3-3/8" tall. I think, maybe, they were inspired by the new HO scale of the time? I didn't realize until I started this shoot that the set has at least 20 different building. I'm sure I'll find more as I search my many boxes and rooms. Notice the page from the Collector's Guide that a lot of these were from the Papa Ted collection. If any of my fellow collectors have other variations on these houses I'd love to see your photos.
