Item Description
Set of three wonderful boxed Three Little Pigs houses. Marked "An 'Exella' Product," sets were made in England, 1935. Art Deco-theme paper-covered chipboard boxes each have lid label w/image of Fiddler Pig and character specific text that includes "I Build My" House Of ... w/each building material listed. Boxes show scattered handling wear/aging and each has penciled initials on lid label. Twigs box is missing one lid side panel. Straw has .75" lid puncture. Bricks box lid has two corners split. Boxes still display Fine overall. Each hand-painted cast lead house is marked "Made In England." Thin 1" section of straw house's roof is missing from one side and an arrow-shaped weather vane is broken off top (but included). Twigs house has 1" section of front roof overhang missing. Brick house is in four sections and was originally held together by eight tabs extending out from the front and back sections. At this point only two remain and as a result, house sections are loose but can still be assembled that they stay in place due to their weight. Other than these mentioned defects the houses show only a few small paint nicks and are VF overall. Two of the Three Pigs figures (sold as a separate set that did not come w/the houses) come along, Fiddler and Practical Pig. Both have a few scattered paint nicks. Fine. Although we have offered the figures a few times over the years this is the first we've seen of any of these rare houses w/their even rarer boxes.
