Two unrelated companies, but with much in common, made rather quirky, somewhat Art Deco, dollhouse furniture for a brief time in the late 1920s and early 1930s. TrixyToy furniture was constructed of layers of laminated cardboard, heavily coated in brightly colored paint. The furniture made by Tiny Town, owned by The Embossing Company, looked very much like the parent company’s famous dominoes. Both companies made cardboard dollhouses to accompany the furniture, and the houses are in many ways more desirable than the furniture. But all of it has a place in the history of dollhouses and the history of the American entrepreneurs who made it, along with many other toys, to the delight of thousands of young children during the Great Depression.
