I haven't yet got to the 1980s in looking through the toy trade magazine - hopefully that will have more information too.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859849266660930171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661402712471442035.post-59295350055677876162016-02-07T14:48:59.396+09:302016-02-07T14:48:59.396+09:30Hi Julie, Thank you very much for this information...Hi Julie, Thank you very much for this information! It's great to hear from you, and to learn more about Lumberjack dolls houses. Do you know when your father sold Lumberjack Toys?

My father Don is the man standing in the photo with the LTD1 and Frank Marsh is sitted. Frank Marsh and his wife used to own a toy shop at Pennant Hills NSW and they were very good friends of our family. The above dolls house was not made by Lumberjack Toys when we owned the company. We sold the company when I was a teenager (I'm now in my early 50's) but I don't know really much about it after that. Hope this helps.

I'm really happy to know more about Lumberjack. Since I showed this dolls house, I have bought one that has a Lumberjack label on the side - it's like the one in Toyworld only bigger, though it has a different door. I have also found some more photos in the toy trade journal. I intend to show the other dolls house and the photos in this blog soon! One of the photos has a man called Frank Marsh, from Lumberjack, in it. Do you know who he was? I would love to know more about the range of dolls houses that Lumberjack made, and if the dolls house in the photos above is by Lumberjack or not.
