#875 Goula - Colegio (Ref. 600) (Around 1979)


As a kid I had a structure laid from this brand. Now it is lost, exactly I would actually similar to detect it as well as play amongst it, correct now. Unfortunately, it was in all likelihood thrown away years ago, thus I won't live able to gain this.

Instead, I constitute this prissy laid inward a flea marketplace several years ago, the pieces are similar, although inward the laid I was referring to, at that topographic point were basically edifice parts amongst a few cars, people as well as fifty-fifty to a greater extent than or less trees. On the contrary, this laid includes solely schoolhouse or shape slice of furniture as well as people, exactly notwithstanding the means of the manufacturer cannot live mistaken. The woods is real low-cal coloured (light brown) as well as many pieces stimulate got to a greater extent than or less coloring applied inward i side, e'er inward basic/plain colours.

Both the laid I owned equally a kid, as well as this i I stimulate got instantly belong to a celebrated serial called "Construcción Urbis". They were the classic contruction block set, perchance inward a smaller size than the commons game (probably to continue the prices equally depression equally possible), as well as amongst dedicated sets including detail pieces non available inward other sets. The serial was divided inward several subgroups according to the size of the box: Urbis, Urbis-2, Urbis-3... upwards to Urbis-5, which included the biggest boxes amongst the highest total of pieces. Some sets were likewise available inward bags.

Note for example this curious schoolhouse class. The blocks stimulate got the shapes of desks, chairs an blackboards, as well as this pieces, of course of written report were especific to this set. There are likewise to a greater extent than or less figures included, exactly they are made of plastic. It would live much to a greater extent than expensive to gain them inward wood, exactly before versions of this game had wooden figures, inward a less realistic style, as well as curiously, the instructor was a nun (something non real odd at the fourth dimension inward Spain). The figures are slightly flat, inward the tin soldiers style. My laid is in all likelihood missing ii pupils (at to the lowest degree compared amongst the motion painting inward the box cover).




Note the prissy sculpt of the unlike furniture: teacher´s desk (with platform), blackboard, pupil´s desk... it is a real interesting structure set, perchance likewise intended to live a toy for girls?

Among the boxes inward this Urbis serial as well as this size, which I hollo back it was the smallest i (17x11 cm), the references were:
  • 600 Colegio (School)
  • 601 Granja (Farm)
  • 602 Fuerte (Fort)
  • 603 Garajes (Garages)
  • 604 Estación (Train Station)
  • 605 Aeropuerto (Airport)
  • 606 Zoo
  • 607 Castillo (Castle)

And instantly a few lines well-nigh the manufacturer. The companionship which made this toy is Goula, a Castilian companionship that is notwithstanding active, although instantly it is purpose of a bigger concern, equally it is Diset.

Theirofficial website (http://www.goula.es/content/sobre-goula-15) tells us the even out of a identify unit of measurement work concern run since 1942. The ready get upwards comes from the surname of the founder Josep Goula from Vic (near Barcelona).

The work concern in all likelihood derived from a carpenter´s workshop especialized inward Christmas ornament goods. Soon they started producing wooden toys for children (around 1950) as well as since then, they stimulate got been participating inward the Toy Fair inward Nurenberg every year.

Currently their toys notwithstanding utilisation wood, exactly sometimes combined amongst other materials, similar textile or cardboard. The pattern is notwithstanding beingness made inward Barcelona, although goose egg is said well-nigh production...

Goula is purpose of the Diset grouping as well as is the leader manufacturer inward wooden toys inward Spain. It exports to to a greater extent than than sixty countries. Great! I wonder if they ever idea well-nigh reissuing these Urbis sets. Do yous hollo back they would stimulate got whatever commercial success nowadays?
