#tbt Vintage Renwal Dollhouse bits and bobs

So earlier today I was wandering Facebook (as one tends to do) when Franklin Habit posted a photo that looked awfully familiar. Why yes, it was of the same mother and son Dollhouse Dolls that I inherited from #deadnancy. There is not a lot of information out there about the Renwal Company but I was able to find that they were a higher-end maker.

 

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Ideal, Marx, and Renwal were the high-end manufacturers of dollhouse furniture. Plasco produced a more “generic” line of furniture designed to sell at a lower price point, 15 to 25 percent cheaper.

3 toilets
Yup, that is three toilets. I am sure the toilet seat for the white one was in the box but couldn’t find it.
Also there is a pink high chair/ toilet combo not pictured
