Watko Doll Swing
This adorable 50's metal swing matches my very HTF vintage
Watko furniture to a tee and still
has the original kick plate wired
in place. The plastic fabric looks to be Watko
for sure with variation in trim design.
The steel construction is wonderful
and the vinyl canopy and
padded cushions are too cute for words!
This swing was my Xmas
gift this year and I looked a long time to find one!
Although I love
my Strombecker pieces, I have to say
I almost prefer the early
Watko pieces for 50's charm, color, and construction.
An almost identical Watko swing sold in 1996
for $425.00 at Theriault's and
the bottom plate was missing.

This outdoor Watko canopy table came with two bistro chairs.
You can see the top of the steel bistro chair in the background.
My bistro chair is missing the seat.
The canopy umbrella is striped cloth and still in very good
condition. The original table top is great
and remains wired on. The Watko striped chairs
are like new even though they were made around
1957 and considered high end furniture back then.

The mouseketeers are at play and taking a lunch break! Ginny as Karen and Ginger in Ginny's golfing suit are having fun relaxing with wooden furniture made by Hall's in 1965. The round table is number #282 and it came with two drilled holes in the table top so that the umbrella angle could be adjusted. The striped canopy has wooden spokes. The chaise with original pad is #281. See the white lifeguard chair that goes great with this set! It is new and holds a Wendykins! The wooden swing you see in the click pic is Strombecker and shown in full size here: http://cataumet.net/carolyn/plw15.htm CLICK 1 |

Ginny as Karen and rare Sandra Sue swing! This fantastic swing was made for the Sandra Sue doll by Richwood from 1953-1958. It is perfect for Ginny and complements her own Vogue gym as the original paint color is almost the same. Under the swing there is a sandpaper like surface meant to simulate grass. When assembled it was put together with the sandpaper side down. To prevent slipping? The matching #501 see-saw with simulated grass and top of the swing can be seen if you click added pics. Ginny is swinging the day away! The wooden bench is Strombecker. |
