It was displayed one year in a store we frequented. Dang thing was a two-bed, one bath ranch style house, fully furnished and wired for electricity! It had wall lamps that took Xmas light bulbs, the big ones since mini lights hadn't come along yet. To play with it one took the roof off, and it took up a goodly amount of floor. Of course I didn't get it, this was about 1962 and the danged thing cost over $50! But I sure did want it!
