21 - could it be part of a concertina? (what the clown plays?)


Your strikethrough is incorrect Tahra! That's to say, 21 IS part of the concertina (accordion) from the hospital and a couple of other sets!

Do you know the part number for that accordion piece?  I only know of the red accordion which came with the 4404 hospital.

The 67 shows its a composite part made up of two or more sub-parts (I hope I am quoting Heather accurately here), in this case the red outer and the White back and knobs. I will post a picture later.....

I don't think the sub-part numbers are known though :(

 ;D  Thank you!  Wonderful!

I dug out my red accordion (which I've never used) from that hospital set, and realised for the first time that it is half an accordion.....

I've now fitted that white part onto the back of it, and it is a so much more an attractive and complete accordion.  How on earth did I miss the incompleteness of it before?

Now I have a lovely accordion.  The white keys on it are so cool.

It is going to need to creep its way into my next scene, for sure.

I always find it really satisfying when you get the missing part for a piece of PM like that!

Your recent 'shopping mall for rent' diorama gave me an idea for a photo contest challenge and the idea of trying to include certain things in a scene (accordion, dovecote, whatever) reinforced it. So I am off to post that idea now!

Oh and here is the proof about that white part..

Inspired by Graham B's post here, I searched through a bag of bits and pieces that I had previously put aside as Not Playmobil.  And I found quite a lot of Playmobil amongst the Made in Chinas, Lego pieces, and general oddities.  With much help from others more knowledgeable than myself, many parts are now identified, but I still can't find out what the following parts are, or where they come from.
.....

tahra suggested that number 1 came from a space set, and number 23 looked like a baby carriage cover, but I still can't find them.  Also that 28 and 29 has string threaded through - but I don't know for what purpose, or in what set.

The rest are a total mystery to me.  I'm sure I've seen number 9 before, but I can't remember where.

5 = deck cover for motorboat

Thank you.  I have the klickies from the 4471 Harbour Police, so I'm guessing it came with them .... minus the rest of the boat!
