This is a rare model - since it was commisioned by the church, very few copies were made - might be your last chance!
Wood House Model Shelf Stander of the Mountville Church of the Brethren in Mountville, Lancaster County , Pennsylvania
The congregation was founded in Mountville in 1881, and the current church was built in 1961 on the site of the original meetinghouse
The Church of the Brethren is an Anabaptist church, like the Mennonites and Amish of Lancaster County, all originating from the Schwarzenau Brethren of Germany
The model was commissioned by the church in 2006 to commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the congregation
HAND PAINTED by the artist, VERY DETAILED painting, and signed by her on the bottom, Faline 1995. Heavy, solid wood.
This is a larger than usual model - 7 3/4" wide x 5 1/4" tall x 3/4" thick
From her designer house of Cat's Meow and has their logo on one corner on the back.
The familiar Faline iconic BLACK CAT Casper is up in the tower

This is a LARGE model - Sized 8" wide by 4" tall and about 3/4" thick
Very nice vintage condition - colors on the front are fresh and bright. Some very light edge wear and very minor rubs and marks on the front side - displays beautifully. The back side, which does not have the design, shows some white spots and slight edge wear, but nothing serious. No chips.. Detail in the handpainting is great!
