The last piece finally came!

[Katie from IL]

Today I finally received Kit's nighttime neccessities. I have to say, I was a little dissapointed with the phone. I thought the telephone would be black metal like the typewriter or a similar heavier material but it's plastic [img]frown.gif[/img] Has it always been plastic?

The lamp is metal except for the base which is plastic. The battery door has to be unscrewed to insert the battery which I don't have the patience to do right now.

The book, Robin Hood is just like the other doll sized books-hardcover, color illustrations, etc. It is smaller in size than Samantha's Wizard of Oz book.

Neverthe less these items are now with Kit's desk set, which is still set up in a temporary location. I need to still find a permanent home for it.

Kit's phone reminded me of Bakelite. Bakelite, a hard plastic materiel that has been around since 1907. Here is a phone with some bakelite parts-

Yes, the phone has always been plastic, but I think it's still cute.

And you know something about the lamp? Every time the power goes out, that lamp helps me see. LOL! It works better than a flashlight. Now I need to get Kit's lantern and Molly's lamp.

Is the typewriter really metal?! I have been tempted to buy it, but was unsure of the quality.

Yes I have the typewriter and it is very good quality. It's metal and you can even press the rows of keys. It says something about making a "ding" sound at the end of a line but I didn't hear any sound. Still it's a beautiful piece. It comes with a box of typing paper and some of her newspapers. It goes hand in hand with the rolltop desk.

Really? Mine *dings*. It is the prettiest, purest little ding, crystal clear.Just perfect.You have to type all the way to the end. I hope yours works.
I agree, it is a beautiful typewriter.I was my favorite thing for Kit until tonight, when I got her glassware and linens.
