Craft Products Company, maker of popular clock kits in the 1960s and 70s, came out with a line of Colonial-style miniature furniture kits in 1974. Several of the designs are very similar to The House of Miniatures kits that came out three years later. They called the line "Craft Creative Kits" and by 1976 they produced a 32-page catalog of various miniatures. The fit and finish is not on par with The House of Miniatures. The literature calls them "hardwood" kits, but the flat pieces are birch plywood.
Although Craft Products Company continued offering clock kits into the late 1990s, they appear to have sold out their miniatures line to Perfection Products by 1980. Very interesting collector piece.
Catalog Description: "A very unusual miniature piece, this 3 1/2 inch desk is solidly constructed with interestingly curved base. Its slant-top is hinged to open out and form a writing surface, and the lower drawers open and close easily. Escutcheon pins are included in the kit for handles, but you may buy the Chippendale handles shown in the photo. They have been custom-made from solid brass for us in West Germany and add a distinctive style to any piece of furniture."
