'Willow Series' buildings


Recommended Posts

I have several of these, but know I'm a long way short of the complete set, because they usually have a number as well as 'Willow Series' stamped underneath, and the highest number is #50, and I don't have anything like that many.

Unfortunately, I have no idea who/where/when (1930s?) made these very attractive items.

I'll start the thread with a house which I recently bought (I thought easier to find it again in a new thread about Willow Series than it get lost in the never ending new purchases thread) which isn't numbered, and is a bit cruder than my others, so I suspect is earlier than my others, so probably #1.

It doesn't have a back, and appears never to have had one, so presumably just left open for play access - hey, it was a toy. If there was a later version, it would probably have had a removable sliding back, and an internal first floor, which this hasn't got either.

I will add more from this series shortly.

Obviously I'd like some more, and am wondering if some of my similar style but unmarked farm buildings are in fact Willow Series, but if anyone here has any they want to keep, I'd still like to see photos and numbers, just to discover what the rest of them were.
