1950s Town Plan


1212 - Small House - Right
#6
Here is set 1212, Small House - Right, also known as Small House - Left.

Yeah…for whatever reason, this set and its sister, set 1213, started off in Scandinavian catalogs as the right and left "curve" or "wing", respectively. Then when sales started elsewhere in Europe (as sets 212 and 213), catalogs in German- and Dutch-speaking countries switched the terminology and began calling them left and right. But when Scandinavian sets also switched to 3-digit numbers, they kept the original names, as did other countries like Italy. (In later years, both sets were most often referred to simply as a small house, without trying to decide which side was which.)

For whatever other reason, the German/Dutch terminology is what took hold across most of the online world, but since I'm showing the original versions of these sets, I'm using the original nomenclature. And besides, it makes more sense, since the early catalogs clearly show these two sets as the right (1212) and left (1213) wings of a larger block, with a central shop (set 1210) in between them. In any case, the same set number always applies to the same physical configuration; the only thing that changes is whether it's called "left" or "right".
