Description

The piece is made from tin lithograph. It is unassembled. The individual pieces were wrapped in some sort of old "parchment paper" for the leack of better words. All of the screw s and nuts are present, as well as all the individual pieces. The Chimney is included too. The box reads: Miniature Model of Stran -Steel Century of Progress Garden Home. The instructions read: Stran- Steel Miniature Century of Progree Garden Home. I hav found information on the real house that was feature at the 1933 Chicago's World Fair, however I can not find any information on this top/dollhouse/erector set. Oh...as I was unwrapping the pieces to photograph it..I spotted a copywrite by The mathews Co, Detroit MI. Would like to know the value.
