It took three years to track down this house. Here is the ultimate in tin litho dollhouses--The Bomb Shelter House. Without a doubt the rarest of all Marx houses, this house was produced in 1962 only. It was inspired by President John F. Kennedy's appeal to the citizens of the U.S. to be ready for nuclear war if the Cold War with Russia should take a turn for the worst. The house however was not a big seller, and thusly it is very difficult to find. The house came with the rare Dutch door. This rare house was featured in the 1962 Sears Christmas Book.
Inside.....
The inside of the house was exactly the same as most colonials, with the exception of the garage being replaced by the bombshelter. |
The BOMB SHELTER...
NOTE: The folding cots, which are extrememly hard to find.
I need two more to complete the set. Also needed - a round table. |
