The House of Miniatures - Coronation Series - Rare Collector Set #50000 - X-Acto
The ultimate collector set of the Coronation Series of miniatures from The House of Miniatures, this "Assortment No. 50000" was what a miniatures shop would buy when they began selling the Coronation line of miniature furniture. It contains the first twelve (12) pieces of the line that were made from the beginning.
Found only in the dealer catalog of the day, The House of Miniatures did not offer this set to consumers. Most dealers would have displayed and sold the pieces individually, so finding a set in the original shipping box is a rare, possibly unique, discovery. Designed in USA, made in Taiwan in the same factory where the kits were made from 1976 through 1994.
All items are in as new condition in their individual boxes. Here is the itemized list, with original prices from 1981 (!). See all the images for the box and item condition, plus original catalog images.
