	As a young boy, the webmaster already gave performances for his friends with the Flipposcoop, which was published as an advertising item by De Betuwe jam (marmalade) from Tiel, the Netherlands. You got it as a cut-out and had to assemble it yourself. This simple cardboard theatre, in which paper films could be played, was sold for 15 cents at the time and now often yields a few hundred euro's. With the above cut-out, a 1:12 version can be made for the dollhouse. Very nice! wilminidesign.blogspot.com
