There is not a great deal of information on the Blue-Box boxes, but I do have a book about toys made in Hong Kong which I think has a bit more information. I'll check it and get back to you. Also, Blue-Box still exists - have you tried contacting them to ask about the type of plastic used in the 1960s-80s?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-48163910220690634702016-10-03T11:03:34.758+09:302016-10-03T11:03:34.758+09:30Hi Rebecca, I'm enjoying seeing your collectio...Hi Rebecca, I'm enjoying seeing your collections, what great finds!<br /><br /> Im researching the Blue Box products and wonder if you have any idea of the kind of plastic which was used for the furniture. I'm wanting to use some as artwork, but i need to know more about the composition, to ensure that i use the right kind of glue. <br /><br />Known only, it seems, as 'hard plastic', im wondering if it seems similar to the other kinds of furniture from HongKong of the same period. If so, i might be able to find out more. <br /><br />If its not too much bother, can you find out if is there any information of this kind on the packaging? Or any other manufacturer information that could help me.<br /><br />I only have random pieces, no longer with a box.<br /><br />Happy Collecting,<br /><br />Eleanorelfinawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288950177709055545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-75996809173050167742016-02-05T20:21:21.235+09:302016-02-05T20:21:21.235+09:30Rebecca have just seen pictures and info on lumber...Rebecca have just seen pictures and info on lumberjack you have , if you would like some more shots of dolls houses you can find me in phone white pages nsw only too happy to help cheers adrian windusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-86413600629609314392016-01-18T03:43:26.285+09:302016-01-18T03:43:26.285+09:30Yes, I realised that when I posted the second time...Yes, I realised that when I posted the second time ...<br /><br />No reply to my email to the Essex DH Museum yet.

Even if I don't find anything, I love op shopping - there is something about the smell of the old clothes, books and furniture, and the possibility of finding things you don't expect, that I love. Finding these wonderful things was a bonus! It's really interesting to hear that you had a little kitchen table like this when you were growing up. I don't think I've seen one like this before - gate-leg tables with turned legs, yes. Maybe I should try making one!<br />Best wishes to you and your family for 2016, too!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-37823943415328389632016-01-16T14:06:32.415+09:302016-01-16T14:06:32.415+09:30Thanks, Gil!

I don't think I have any catalogues of plastic Britains plants, so I'd be interested to know if either tree is in your catalogue, when you get back to the CR.<br />Wow, do let me know if you get to the Essex Dolls House Museum! I didn't include it on the DHP&P Places to Visit page - I can't now remember why, so if it's still there, please let me know and I'll include it!<br /><br />ps I have comment moderation enabled, so no comments appear before I've pressed Publish, that's why this comment of yours didn't show until now. :-)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-18708349938984264632016-01-16T05:32:39.733+09:302016-01-16T05:32:39.733+09:30What great finds Rebecca!

However it is in the CR and I am in the UK at the moment so can't check.<br /><br />I have just spotted The Essex Dolls House Museum in your list of websites. Research seems to indicate that it is just up the road from me. Who would have thought it - information coming from a blog in Australia! The internet is a truly wonderful thing.Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-20172484750030191932016-01-16T05:26:13.828+09:302016-01-16T05:26:13.828+09:30Glad you had a nice break Rebecca and you and your...Glad you had a nice break Rebecca and you and your Sister enjoyed your op shopping. The flowers were a great find and I love the plan of the dolls house and its little kitchen table. I remember a little fold up table like that in our kitchen when I was growing up.
