A new year, a new challange. I found this pencil marking on the attic floorboard of one of my antique houses.
Update: Well I heard from Diepuppenstubensammlerin who suggested the writing is very old fashioned. She though it might say "roof" as to where that part of the dollhouse components were kept, but the last letter doesn't work. C

Hi CM, sorry it's taken me so long to respond! I've now had time to look up the websites I use for family history, like CyndisList, which had a link to this site: http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Datei:Script2.svg
And I think diepuppenstubensammlerin is right - the first letter is D, and the last h, and so it could well be Dach 'roof'. But I'm no expert on old German handwriting - trying to read old German church registers, I thought 'Ewa' said 'Anna'!
