What a GREAT hand made set of miniature doll furniture made from old cigar boxes! This set included is a bed, tall chest of drawers with mirror, wash stand with mirror, wash stand without mirror, dresser with mirror, and a sideboard. The bed has a hand made pillow, mattress and quilt. The quilt has adorable Sun Bonnet Babies on it! The set is made to look like the oak furniture of this era and the maker did a wonderful job. This set was made in the early 1900's. The only mark I find is the following: "Factory No. 39, 3rd District, NY 50" and it only appears ONCE, sideways on the back of the bed's head board. This mark is the "three line" factory ID that was on the original cigar box(es). This three line ID was used from the mid 1880's until about 1915. (see cigarhistory.info for more information) Some of the pieces have a large handwritten letter "M" or "T" on the back. We are told that this furniture originally belonged to twin girls, who had identical sets. They marked the back so as not to mix up their sets. I guess it didn't work - since we seem to have both M and T, but they tried! Measurements and condition are as follows: Bed - headboard 6 1/8 inches tall, 4" wide and 6 1/8 inches long. Nice condition. Tall Dresser - 6" tall, 3 3/4 inches wide, 2" deep - mirror has wear to silver backing. Wash stand - 2 3/4 " tall, 3 5/8" wide and 2" deep. Nice condition.
