yeah that's what I reckon. It was all red and yellow plastic in the 1970s... they didn't even have black until the 'technical' stuff came along in
about 1980. But a cool kit!

I had black and white police station set when I was a kid. And a yellow house with a blue roof. But back then there weren't any special blocks like
on this. Just straight blocks and flat sections to build on. You couldnt build anything with angles. I think the first thing that changed was when
star wars came out, we had space lego! It was the first time they had any special blocks that I can recall, and even then only a few. They had round
pieces for the rockets. I had a big bucket full of the stuff. My mum insanely gave it away when I was about 12 and we went to NZ. Along with my
meccano some of it which I inherited from dad. Would be worth heaps now.

You might find that 1961 is the model number of the lego, as they all have a number coding product system, not that it was made in 1961, most of those
pieces didnt exist in 1961.
This is the sort of lego found in 1961
