In the Beginning... |
Over the years this house has been produced in a wide variety of colors, which makes this piece one of the most challenging to collect. We’ve shown three examples of these colors above, and all of the variations are listed below, beginning with the most common. |

The TURQUOISE walled Cape Cod House has two color variations as is illustrated above. This most likely indicates that there were two different production runs of this color. The windows are also a brighter WHITE color on the LIGHT TURQUOISE walled variation. We believe that the darker color was manufactured first because of the excessive glue that was used to hold the windows and the doors in place. Bachmann improved with a more judicious use of this glue during the latter portion of production of the Cape Cod House. |
