I came across this on eBay the other day, and can't get over how freaking cute it is. This is the original Barbie Dream House - the first one they ever came out with. I don't know about you, but I would have died for one of those Barbie Townhouses in the early 70's - the one with the elevator? My parents got me the Barbie Country House (which is also on eBay) instead one year for Christmas, and I think I probably should have had therapy over the disappointment. The whole thing is cardboard…

This set isn't complete. It's missing most of the furniture and sew-free accessories. It does have the pots and pans, coffee pot and a few plates and bits. This set is probably the hardest of all the cardboard structures to find. This one is in really good condition.

YEAR (1960s) Barbie Dream House Clone by Toymaster - Toymaster Doll House made in the style of the Vintage Barbie Cardboard houses / structures. Very rare, vintage Toymaster cardboard doll house. It is sized to fit Barbie sized fashion dolls. Toymaster made their doll house like Mattel's, but included a 'kitchen' in the corner inside the bookshelves in the Mattel house. There is a 'patio' outside w/ an awning & chaise lounge. The colors are more vivid than the original Barbie Dream House…

Still need to add casters and outdoor carpet/vinyl terrazzo tile.
