Triang 1939 or 1950.....

  I wanted to share my most recent dollshouse purchase. I went to an auction with the intention of buying some vintage clothing (see http://thewasherwoman.blogspot.com/ for my other obsession!)
Somehow I managed to buy this little beauty as well as several boxes of wrecked old wedding dresses and other delights.

 On returning home I rushed straight to my copy of Marion Osborne's reference on Lines and Triang dollshouse to put an exact date on the house. It would appear that dolls house design number 91 was made in 1939 and then again in 1950.

 The exterior of the house says "1930's" to me, as do the papers in all of the rooms except the main bedroom (but it is possible that this has been over-papered?) The main bedroom has a curious deco fireplace while the other fireplaces are all of the usual brick design.

 Apologies if the photos are a little hazy. I had to use a different camera, and it certainly isn't as good.

As you can see, I have already found a few bits and bobs of furnishings, but have a long way to go..... I would appreciate any help in pointing to the exact date of this house.
