The village also had vehicles that went with it. Police car, fire truck, Postal car. Also had square plastic mail that was addressed to the various bldg's. You will notice a mail slot on each door. Mine is not mint, but very loved and played with by my kids and then all the grandkids, now we'll get it out for the great grandkids.

Apart from the Ferris wheel I had all of these! This brings back so many fond memories of easier times. Thank you for sharing this.

My brother and I each had a farm when they came out, he then had the gas station, a year or so later, I got the school bus, then I went nuts from there, having sets, not having sets. The lift did indeed come with the garage and that was about the first piece to quit working. No idea why, but it stopped going up and down. The original farm had the Masonite board, as did most of them, but my current farm, which I'm not going to worry about it, has a plastic green board, and the doors on the loft are red, so I got a later issue farm. Again, for some reason, I'm content with it. HOWEVER, there are later issued schoolbuses with 'plastic' bases for the seven students to sit (six kids, one dog) but I refuse to have that one. My base is indeed wood on my school bus. Now the original school bus of this design had a stop sign that folded out from the opposite side, about where the driver is sitting. My version no longer has that sign, so that must have been done away with. I got no problem with that. The airplane came with the airport and was also sold separately, with the family and two pieces of luggage. There are TWO different versions of the airplane, one with a visible pilot like the bus driver and the second one you have there, as do I in my collection. GOOD LUCK finding one with the visible pilot in the cockpit, and he moves back and forth like the bus driver. My other earliest cherished piece was the houseboat, which I have complete. I have two original schoolhouses now, tho I didn't have it when I was little. Original schoolhouse, Masonite board, furniture detached and trays of colored letters and numbers, magnetized to stick on the roof. Also came with separate playground pieces. I never had the village and it is really by far one of the most fascinating pieces, seeming like it should be complex and it really is fairly basic. There is virtually no unused space on the village. I have one in my collection now. Never had the airport, was always so fascinated by it, and of course, got one now. My peak year, all of which I now have was the castle-A frame house-circus train. Castle is my absolute favorite piece. My original castle had a spring flag on the highest tower and once when I was playing with it, I poked myself in the eye with it. Painful. My current model has no flag, so I suspect other kids did the same thing. I have the tudor house, brown, not original yellow-and-white. Never had the house, so not worried about that. That 'spring along cafeteria floor' to that later model school is very similar to the Sesame Street playground set, which had a floor on top of the clubhouse and the little people moved along til they tumbled down the ramp, chute, whatever. The Sesame Street clubhouse would be remodeled, but the exact same plastic mold but in different colors, into the western village. I don't have either FP Sesame Street set, but I got the western village by chance. It's not an impressive model to me. I got a Playskool Sesame Street building and it's virtually the same. I had the lift-and-load back then, but don't have it now, perhaps the only piece I had that I haven't included in the current collection. There was also a daycare center, with that same yellow bus (bus also comes in red-and-white) and I had the daycare center and got it again. The daycare center is a floor with inner walls, but outer walls are all open. There is a cardboard roof that covers it. This is very similar to a very early house, possibly before the Tudor house, with rooms and furniture that had inner walls of Masonite and the floor, and from what I've seen on Ebay, you put everything in a sturdy carrying bag when not playing with it. My last buying binge of Fisher Price I think I went after virtually every child made.

The airplane that goes with the airport has a visible pilot and different coloring

I had these when I was little, so I bought four playsets recently including the airport and parking garage. I'm selling them on ebay but playing with them for the next week while the auctions are running.

The upper room you didn't know? Its a dentist's/doctor's office.... (The Fisher Price Village)

I had the FP Village and my brother had the Airport. These were amazing toys. I also later got some of the Adventure People sets.

I could be wrong but the upper part of the building looks like a small..dentist office??

i prefer the older red school with the magnet letters.
