Title: Parts that I'm puzzled by...
Post by: Sylvia on May 24, 2006, 09:41:22
I don't know for sure if these are all Playmobil parts, but I would appreciate knowing which sets they come from.

Thanks! :)

Hi Sylvia,

I know for sure that parts 3 and 5 are Playmobil.
#3 is from an old set 3561, it holds the ski's and poles together.
#5 is from 3599 and is a light from a police boat.
# 2 is Playmobil, but can't remember which set
#4 looks like the real thing?

4 may be the floodlight holder off fire engine 3526.  Those and the floodlights themselves are often missing.

2 looks quite similiar to the piece holding a cable winch to a vehicle (jeep, fire engine, crane, etc.) -- but I'm a little uncertain about the hole in the middle (maybe for a trailer coupling?)

The yellow last piece is for the Fast Water Canoe 3776. This pieces goes on the front and back of the raft.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! :)

That explains why I have 2! ;D

That (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3776.htm) would have been the last place I'd expect to see them. I kept thinking they looked like something out of a space set. :-[


If anyone is missing these parts for their own sets or knows someone who is, please get in touch as I don't have a use for them and will be happy to post them off to a new home. :)

The fire engines have then moulded into the front or, for the 3781 and 3525, the winch is in a separate slide-out section.  I don't think this is PM.

Part no. 2 IS a playmobil part.
I have that part in red and it goes to two different sets.

One is 3696 - the Snowcat and Roller
http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3696.htm

The other is 3734 - the circus trailer
http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3734.htm

It attaches to the rear of each vehicle, and allows for a towing/travel hitch to be inserted through the hole so the vehicle can tow something with the hitch

I have a beliefe that they also made the part in black

Thanks for solving the mystery, Meg! :)

Stay tuned... I have more random parts that I would like to identify. ;)
I'll probably post another pic this week.
