Hi all.

I've recently bought my dad a couple of vintage sets from his Childhood as
presents, but need help identifying a house he used to have. He's convinced
it's the set I've pictured. Does anybody recognise this set or know the
catalogue number for it? He would have gotten it in the early-mid 60's.

Thanks!

Can’t find any listed set that uses the combination of pieces shown in your image.

The image has 3 x one of the 700 type pieces in light grey.

Found only two sets that have this and some other pieces are just not there.

Closest 717-1

This has white windows and not all the trees and bushes, other set contains gears.

 
Set No: 717  Name: Junior Constructor
* 
717-1 (Inv) Junior Constructor
512 Parts, 1961
Sets: Samsonite: Basic Set

Goodluck with the hunt!

Thanks for the replies. Neither are what he used to have I'm afraid. I've
even tried looking through sets with those early grey baseplates, but no luck
so far.
