Early 60s Housekeeping Set. Norstar. Original box!

This is truly a gem from the early ‘60s. It has had one owner – me! As you will be able to tell from the condition of the toys, I hardly played with these. (My husband says he could have guessed that without evening looking at the toys’ condition – isn’t he funny?)

Anyway…all pieces are here, except there apparently was a dust cloth (per the box), but I don’t have that anymore. All the pieces are in great shape – the carpet sweeper does have an indent in it…I think from storage). No broken pieces, really no wear shown on them. Apron is spotless and I don’t think ever used. Dust mop is still fluffy.
