    Please help me figure out an estimate on what this could be worth or give me any information that you would know about this.
    The house belongs to a friend of mine (who is 97 years old), and this belonged to her father-in-law. He owned a small grocery store, and she is thinking that this could have been a sample for a house in the Sears Roebuck catalog.
    It is approx. 4-5 inches long and about the same in height.It has metal window facings, an attached chimney, and a door that opens and shuts. I'm not sure why she put the strings on it, but it is all in near perfect condition.

      The entire archive of Sears houses and designs is available online for free. This one doesn't look familiar as one of theirs but you should research the archive, it isn't huge. They also sold barns and greenhouses.

      Wonderful house, but I can't help wondering why you want to know the value of something that isn't yours? We aren't supposted to discuss value on CW so I'm not going to.

      If your intensions are good towards the owner then I'm sorry if I sound grumpy...
