This looks put together from old barn wood. That was a popular thing to do at the end of the 20th century, when country decorating was hot.
Personally, I am not impressed with the composition. Both buildings on the same plane, and huge pile of snow covered dirt in front of house not a...
Do what I did and buy a wood lathe. I use it only occasionally, but nice to have when I need it. Buy one when on sale at harbor freight, or get a...
Sell it if you can. Putting in front of house with FREE sign usually works too.
Figure out where it is binding before using Vaseline (ick, unless used very lightly). You already tried wax, which is what I would have used. Slip...
Your pics were fine, good of you to take the time. Clicking on pics can be harder on phone, thus the suggestion. Your pics show why PO thought...
Mid-20th century Central American tourist fantasy, not close enough to be called reproduction.

As I go through (very slowly I’m afraid) the prints and paintings I’ve accumulated, some of them need to be remounted in acid-free mat boards....
Thank you, as far as I can tell, our sets are the same, both with numbers and the same materials and construction, size and age. Since you are a...
There are certainly a few commercial shots mixed in the album, though I don’t think I showed pics of any of them. Most notably, there are a couple...
Oh and one more play set, since I keep these together. Missing the feet. My only lathe is four feet long so really not appropriate for turning...
And one in a wooden box that looks almost identical to the wooden box in shangas’ third picture, mahogany hand dovetailed together. Really looks...
