Hi All,

The Great One picked up this Tyco lighted gas station for me today. The gas pump and oil rack stickers seem to be a little different than any pictures I have seen of this kit. Also the red trim around the base and top of the building is new to me. I thought maybe the red was painted on but on closer inspection the red trim is molded in red. The bottom of the base says Tyco kit made by Pola W. Germany. As you can see, the building has a lot of cig. smoke discoloration. If anyone can put a timeline on this or just give a run down on it that would be great.

Thanks
Mike

mid to late 70's mike. The cig smoke has faded the white styrene to brown it looks. I have one just like that but it is not smoke faded.
