One of the strangest doll houses Marx made was called the Imagination Doll House, which was constructed of modular pieces, rather than the usual tin litho structure. The photo of the house at the left is from Larraine Elcock's All Dolled Up web site. Its pieces can be assembled in various ways to create very different houses. As far as figures, the set included the 1960s family shown above, but also had three additional figures that are more difficult to find today. |
