1950s Furniture Appraisal

Vintage Plastic Dollhouse Furniture Collection

This collection consists of miniature dollhouse furniture, likely from a vintage set, possibly a Renwal No. 60 Plastic Doll House Furniture set, or similar from the mid-20th century (1940s-1960s). The pieces are constructed primarily from molded plastic, appearing sturdy and designed for play. The color palette includes brown, various shades of blue, white, and a vibrant green and yellow for the outdoor chair. The set includes a detailed living room suite featuring a blue sofa and a matching armchair, both exhibiting molded rococo-style scrollwork on their bases and arms in a contrasting brown. A small brown round table with a pedestal base and three stylized legs is also part of the set. The kitchen/dining area is represented by a black plastic 'stove' or 'range top' with molded circular burners and four square control knobs, and an intricately detailed silver-colored vent or hood with a circular red accent. Bathroom fixtures include a classic white bathtub with a slight 'foot' design and a toilet with a red-orange seat and a silver-colored flush handle/mechanism. A small, blue, oval-shaped table with a textured surface, possibly depicting a rug or carving, is also present. Additionally, there's a bright yellow and green outdoor or patio type chair with a slatted back and seat. Condition-wise, the items appear to be in good, played-with condition for their age. There are no obvious breaks or cracks visible, and the colors remain relatively vibrant, suggesting the plastic has held up well over time. Some minor surface wear or scuffs are to be expected with vintage plastic toys, but none are prominent enough to detract significantly. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced dollhouse furniture of its era, emphasizing detail in the molding to mimic real furniture styles. While no specific maker's marks are clearly visible in the image, the style and materials are characteristic of companies like Renwal, Ideal, or Plasco, which were known for producing such plastic dollhouse furnishings.
