Cape Cod Toymakers bedroom ensemble!
This 6 piece Cape Cod Furniture was made by American Toy Products and called "Cape Cod Toymakers. " I purchased this set in the original box ! It is wonderful! Made of birch , it is similar to Strombecker furniture but pieces are more squarely cut. The pink and blue plastic quilted coverlet is original to the set. The mattress cover underneath is a real mattress fabric piece that wraps around the bed frame. Note the neat flat panels at the ends of the bed frame. Wardrobe has shelf and bar for hanging clothes. The set was made in Massachusetts between 1955 and 1961. A Luana Patten scrapbook was used to display vintage 40's and 50's storybook Hallmark cards. I made this Hallmark book and these American Greeting cards Ginny size!

Ginny displays some of her extensive Hallmark
and American Greeting collection She holds her Miss Muffet card ; Jack and Jill on table. Some cards are two sided and free standing as the back of the paper doll's outfit appears on the opposite side. Others have just the front view and back cardboard tabs added so that the character remains upright no matter where I move it. The side bottom "posters" were ads used to promote Hallmark dolls. |
