I usually post over in General Discussions, but this topic was more LEGO Town related. Many folks think of old Town sets as those from the 1990s .... but really old LEGO means the 1950s! The first LEGO Town System sets came out in 1956. (Actually there were 4 very tiny buildings on 4x8 or 6x8 plates in 1955, but they fit into small parts pack boxes.) The first real Town set was an Esso Service Station Set of 1956... #1310 (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) and #310 in the rest of Europe. Here are 3 versions of the Esso Service Station boxes (bottom to top... 1956, 1958, 1960).... Then in 1957 new sets came out.... #306/#1306 VW Service Set (lower left)... #307/#1307 VW Showroom Set (lower right)... #308/#1308 Fire Station (with printed brick in local languages, upper left)... and the #309/#1309 Church Set... In the past year some new variations on the old Esso Service Station set boxes have been found.... these 1956-57 set boxes were used in Denmark (top, Esso Service), Germany (middle, Esso Wagenpflege), and Sweden (bottom, Esso Service, different box color).... These images are found in my Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide available as DVD/download (for your desktop viewing pleasure).... with 2,800 pages and over 6,000 historic and modern images.... still available in AmeriBricks Bazaar. Future download updates will be free to current owners!
