A great piece of tin litho. Stay tuned for upcoming auction info from SeriousToyz.com
It's followed by a fabulous Easter candy box putz repro by Karl Fey. The colors on this are just so right.

A collection of vintage made in Japan putz houses with mercury glass beaded roofs and embellishments. You see these quite often but seldom without lots of broken beads and missing sections--the mercury glass was just so fragile. To the reader who asked if anyone was reproducing these today--with faux mercury plastic or resin beads instead--we haven't seen them being made--but this would make a great project! Hint...hint....Click on the link to see the vintage originals http://bit.ly/1BgKgHE
Maria, we had a set of the beaded houses, purchased in the early sixties, long gone, I'm afraid. Thanks for the reminder.
