Miniature Barbie Deluxe House Id Request

Please can you help to identify this little vinyl house, I have it for many years in my collection, it is not a Tutti playhouse or a Hallmark ornament or a keyring pendant. On the pic you can see the relation to Barbie size, vintage Malibu Barbie holds it.
It is made of white vinyl outside, the closures and the handle are made of the same white thin vinyl, it is for closing with 2 gold buttons similar to the buttons used on the vintage Barbie outfits. Inside is 2 dimensional except the bed or sofa in front of the window. There are no painted carpets or anything else inside. Is it possible that it was a part of an old dealer display? Is it of any value? Thanks for help, Angela

Hi Angela -
I have never seen anything like this - Maybe someone else will know. I do know that full size cases that did double duty as rooms/doll houses were common in the late 1960s, early 1970s. From the dolls pictured and the outfits they are wearing, I would say this is from the late 1960s.
But other than the Hallmark ornaments, I have no clue!

Barbie House

Yes, I used to have that house as a child. It was made... I believe in 1964. It was called the Barbie Family Deluxe House.
It would originally have come with furniture attached. A kitchen with a table and chairs on the right divided by divider (painted with kitchen appliances on one side and a fireplace on the other.) On the left there was a living room with a table chair and sofa.

This is fabulous. Don't know who makes it but I have seen it before on doll boards or ebay. The original one came out around 1966 with furniture attached to the floor, that I read was more in scale to a slightly smaller doll. Then the style was changed to a front opening house that had loose furniture & dolls pictured on the outside including the 1st TNT Barbie. Also seen similar cases & trunks which are great to add to displays.

I JUST SAW ONE ONE OF THESE TINY DOLL HOUSES ON EBAY TONIGHT. THE SELLER WAS WANTING $45 FOR IT. I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE A VERY COLLECTIBLE PIECE!

I do know that the regular Barbie sized doll house was made 1966 and 1967. This little house was probably in a Skipper or Tutti playset during that time.

I've seen it before. :) only problem is i can't find where i saw it b4. it's a dollhouse for the dolls to "play" with. ive seen ads online for it. the ads had a photo with the doll standing behind it and the house set in front on a table or something. i dont remember for sure but i think it mightve been skipper behind in one of the pics i saw. i just checked ebay too and all thats there is a repro but doesnt look like the same house. but yes a wonderful treasure u have!
