Bair Family Lacquers Pic
This set belonged to a family named Bair. They are without doubt the among most elaborately detailed and extraordinarily structured Christmas Houses ever made, and these are the only I have ever seen. They are definely LACQUERS: - glossy all over, except for sandy round fences posts on some of them.

ANOTHER VIEW: The three smaller pieces are about the same size and very much like the LAQUERS above, but upon close inspection, all kinds of textural embossing of the cardboard - especially on the roofs -and other details set them apart.

Note the elborate porticoed veranda or car-port. Several of the set have these. And the windows are most unusual - with clear cellophane on inner portals to give subtle lighting effects and standard Christmas house doors found in others, along with these odd, boldly barred large windows - which I am still trying to make up my mind about. Original or homemade? The jury is still out on that one ......
I am sure there must have been more of these, but I've yet to see any. If anyone has such types in his/her collection - I would very much appreciate some photos! The family I got them from could tell me little more than that they had been "Grandpa's", and he used them with his trains....
