Want to build your own winter wonderland? Our selection of four paper board houses and a forest of tiny trees is a good start! Popular in the 1950s, these Putz houses are made from heavy paper board, paint, mica glitter, cellophane for the windows and a loofah tree.
Each house has a hole on the back to allow room for lights to be placed inside. Though some of the cellophane windows are torn or missing, they can actually be repaired if you are crafty. (We personally don’t mind the bumps and bruises on these old little guys - it shows loving use each and every holiday.)

Item Condition
The houses are in good to fair used condition. Two have torn or missing cellophane windows. Cardboard shows edge wear, scuffs, paint loss and overall dust and residue. The opening on rear of the houses shows scattered tears where previous owners probably inserted a light. Large house stamped ‘JAPAN’ on the bottom; the others unmarked.
