I need to clear some
space on my shelves, so I must part with some of my collection. I am WAY out of
my element on this one, so bear with me. The Swedish company Lundby began
producing lines of dollhouses and dollhouse furniture in the 1940s. The Göteborg
(Gothenburg) style was launched in 1959 and is still popular today under the Småland
name (since 2006). A more modern style, Stockholm, was started in 1975 and
updated in 2005. In 1997, Micki of Sweden acquired the Lundby brand and has
continued its development. These dolls and dollhouses will continue to be a
part of children’s lives and will feed their imaginations and creativity for
generations to come.
This listing is for
the Småland Pushchair and Baby Set and contains:
1.
Pushchair (Stroller) with silver frame and
orange fabric seat
2. Baby / toddler
figure with removable clothes and movable joints
3.
Pink outfit (for girl?)
I found no listing for
this set on eBay (very rare), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have this in
stock and can reliably ship this to you quickly. Here are some of the details about
this hard-to-find set that I found from around the web:
The Lundby website (mickiofsweden.com)
no longer has a listing for this set, although there are several sets with a
baby. They simply describe those other sets this way: “Doll house doll
with removable clothes and can move their limbs.” From other sources, I
have found the following information about this ‘infantile’ set.
§ 1:16 scale (3/4” = 12”)
§ Highly detailed plastic parts molded in silver and
Caucasian flesh tone
§ Silver Stroller (Pushchair) with black wheels and
orange fabric seat
§ Fully jointed baby with pink outfit
There are many reviews of the Lundby line of products,
and they all seem to share a theme: Mom’s love them! You can find detailed
reviews by Kim at shopwithmemama.com, Carolyn at mommyramblings.org and Colleen at classymommy.com. You can see plenty
of rooms all lit up and even some assembly shots. Of course, there are also
dozens of YouTube videos on these products, as well.
This set comes in a colorfully decorated 8” x 6” x 2” box
with a clear molded plastic cover to show the contents. As you can see from
the pictures, the package is pristine and still sealed with tape disks, so I
consider it factory sealed and absolutely
gift-ready.
This item contains a “Umbroller”-style
Pushchair with a baby, completely jointed and clothed in a colorful outfit to
add to your doll family. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship
internationally. Auction winner pays the winning bid and for a limited time,
this item is offered with $5 Flat Rate Shipping in the US!
No reserve and a low starting
bid. Check out my other great auctions and listings for combined shipping. Good
luck!
Those familiar with my listings can tell
that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide
more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into
discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your
goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye
toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated
many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds
nicer than a hoarder).
As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
