Parts that I'm puzzled by...

[Sylvia]

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!

That 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

The other is 3734 - the circus trailer

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.
