worth looking at again....
From a previous auction at SERIOUSTOY.COM, no longer around, the 1890 Loughlin Bros PRETTY VILLAGE #2.
Really outstanding lithography--although one house was missing from the set.
And finally----Currently being offered on eBAY---and the graphics on the box really do match the houses and Santa/sleigh it contains---looks like early 50's---The Christmas Tree Village.
See it all, while the eBAY listing lasts of course at Vintage Putz Christmas Tree Village w Box 8 Houses Santa & Reindeer GUC | eBay
