| Description: A distinctively 70's phenomena, the A-Frame was a more intricately designed house than the regular #952 Play Family House--except it didn't last as long. The base was one of the earliest play-and-carry Little People playsets to be constructed without wood or masonite. This Little People vacation home features a porch with one step and a clear plastic sliding "glass" door on both sides of the house and a balcony above both. A metal dinner bell hangs from a spring and rings at child's touch. The accessories used in this set are just as creative as the base. This is the first and only set that used bunkbeds, a refreshing change from the "same-o" beds used in the #952 house. This set also features an exclusive 4-seat jeep and picnic table with benches. When it was discontinued in 1976, the picnic table and benches appeared again in green for 1980's #992 Car & Camper. The picnic table and benches were used again (minus the table litho) in 1984's #916 Zoo. |
