I found these two items at my LHS. At first I thought that they were hand-made, but under closer inspection, the tabs and construction look manufactured. Although hand painted there is evidence of the original apple green on the inside, and a patterned litho under the edges of the roof. They also are heavier than they appear, and measure 5 1/2 long x 2 1/2 wide x 2 1/2 high. So, what are they?

They look like Marx garages that someone has repainted.

Thanks! I've been looking at images, but nothing really matches. All of the Marx garages have doors, totally plausible that these were removed, but I would've expected the typical Marx trade mark embossed on the bottom.
Take a look at the garage on my Hollywood Bungalow. The also made the garage as a stand alone piece, although I do not have one yet.

Thanks Steve, mystery solved!
