Some other COMPOS: Several different styles and sizes of railroad stations, movie houses and banks can be found in addition to the "basic 8. The little rounded "corner" bank is not seen all that often, or I would have a better one to show you!

Two examples of the little "store." Many of the buildings are found in differing paint schemes. The stores with awnings aren't as common as without. They were made both ways and awnings are usually missing anyway. Quite fragile! The "gas station" has strange little moveable wire attachments, meant to be gas hoses, I imagine.

That the COMPOS were also intended as inexpensive alternative train accessories seems evident from a set like this and from the high number of different stations, baggage rooms, telegraph offices and so on that you find. One finds these composition "people" and various pieces of this set fairly often in all conditions, but the complete unused set with all 7 figures in the box is seldom seen. Still no company name anywhere on the box.
