Sure, there's a fine-looking Creative Playthings dollhouse on eBay at the moment, complete with a family of squatter dolls, who at least haven't tossed out the matchy [if not all matching] furniture. But who cares when there's a freakin' Creative Playthings totem pole for sale?
It's a 6-piece, 17-in. wood stacking puzzle, a classic of the Indian Modernist movement, had there been such a thing. And it looks early; there were certainly no totem poles in the mid-1960's catalogues I've seen.
And while you're all staring at the totem pole, someone can grab that house for a tasty, subprime price.

The totem pole is awesome. I have one in rough shape and missing a piece — but I still freaking love it.
Sheesh...drive up the prices on everything I'm bidding on why don't ya.
