My Oldest Lego

This is Set 611 from 1973.


I replaced the lights and had to replace the tires thanks to dry rot.  I still have that original axle assemblies with bare wheels and the light was a single 1x1 flat in the original solid blue; I have many in my box one of them is sure to be the one that came with the set.

My mom got me this set and I had to account for all of the pieces a set time later for her to buy me more.

I think I did pretty good hanging on to it for... 44 years!

Here's a vid on this kit.
