1897 CARDBOARD VILLAGE, APPROX O GAUGE | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Former Member

I purchased a cardboard building lot earlier this year. I did not have room to display them in

my old place so I put them away. I finally got to unpack them today and found out they are

a complete set from 1897. I didn't know is that they came with a paper play mat that I have

included a photo of. The reason I am posting is I thought there used to be a paper restorer

who advertised on here. Does anyone know who he is?

The mat is 23" by 45" and each white square is for a different building.

Thanks, John
