'79 - same as '69 except brown beds, white table/chairs, yellow stuffed chairs/coffee table, blue girl (rust hair bob), regular-sided dog with yellow collar
A variation reported to us is that the table and chairs were seen in orange in a '69 set, however, we cannot confirm this, because we are told (by someone that works at FP) that orange was not used in furniture until the 1980's). One point of clarification is that the yellow furniture may have been gold in some or all years - the listing is based on pictures and advertisements, and it is not always possible to tell yellow from gold in the picture.

Accessories: '69 - Red girl (made-up eyes, hair and bow painted on head), green boy ('''eyebrows, smiling, freckles), dark blue boy (smiling), black dog (black face, pointed nose, white ears). All figures have straight sides. The dog is rumored to have a taller body than the dogs that came with the #932 Amusement Park or the #719 Train - in fact, the short body dog does not really fit well into the seats. The dog probably also came with yellow ears, as a tall bodied yellow ear dog has been seen.
- # 969 - "Musical Ferris Wheel" (No Peg Version) (Photo) 1973-1980. Wind-up music box ferris wheel plays "In the good old summer time" while turning 4 seats.

The lines are about 1/8 inch apart, and there is also one hole about the size of a pencil point along the side of the 3 lines (maybe part of the manufacturing process?).

In the other version, the passengers are all removeable, and there is no mechanism to bounce the people. Unknown which version is older - so if you know, please tell us. On one hand, the #234 Nifty Station Wagon, made later, also had spinning people, so it would make sense for this version to be later. On the other hand, the non-spinning/bouncing people version has 2 extentions off the rear plastic axel assembly that serve no purpose other than to maybe have connected to bouncing people....
