                      Grey house pink twin bed on the left

  My vintage Muffie is posing on a Cass twin bed on the right

Mr. Scova’s Grey House Creations twin beds

 loosely resemble the early pink Cass beds

 (forerunners of the well known Ginny furniture) in

 that both beds had hard bottoms, decals,

 and side rails. Cass twin beds have small pieces of

 curved wood attached to each side of the

 headboard and side rails. Mr. Scova’s bed rails were

 single pieces of wood curved near the

 headboard. The Grey House bed also has a higher

 headboard and foot board. Nursery rhyme

 type characters appear on both the inside headboard

 and outer footboard. Mr. Scova’s

 matching furniture pieces also had similar boy and

 girl decals on each complementary piece.

 My bed (far left) came with the original blue pad and

 blanket/sheet made by Mimi’s Mom

  Jeanne who finished these fabrics with pinking shears. 

I added some French toiletries 

by My Merry.

 The Cass twin bed shown above right and another

  below had a single animal decal on the

 inside headboard only and various animal decals on matching pieces. 

 The animals here: lambs, bears, ponies, and puppies,

 but bunny decals were also used frequently.

This particular set of Cass furniture

 was distributed as Diane Carol furniture. 

The box is   marked American Toy & Furniture Company, 

Chicago , Ill.   (Lamp is missing)
