    This is a house that looks like it's from one of those Geico commercials. The best I can find is that it is a German weather house chalet, but that would have a thermometer on it, and this doesn't and seems to have never had one. It stands 5 1/4" long and 4" high. It is functioning and the people move through the doors by the knob on the top of the house.

    On the front is a faint carved "St. Gertreudi" or "St. Gertrude." I'm not exactly sure because it is very faint and you won't be able to tell from the picture.

    I don't know much about these, so any info would help me out. Thanks everyone!

      Toyrebel,

      Is it a toy (I'm asking because of your user name)? Do you know much about this since you said you remember them? Do you think it's actually from Germany? Thanks for any help.

      The ski resort Schwemmalm is located in the Val d'Ultimo. St. Gertraud, Italian Tyrol. Looks like a maybe 50's souvenir

      Thank you Lizzy. That's some amazing information. I guess this is solved because I can't think of anything that could be more specific than this. Thanks so much.
