Saddly I have to say that I have the later one.
It is incomplete (is without cars, except a bug VW black, but I think this not
belongs here, maybe a tree, a light). I built all the houses, I have a little
difficult to built the esso service, because I have a lot of extra pieces. I
found the last week a scan instructions in the web for the service. That can
help me in the future to make this more acurrate (All the esso service
buildings are the same? I know the red border, but I means in construction).
I receive with the town plan a lot of slope blue bricks (8 2x2 and four corner
slope). If I remember well in the 810 inventory said that have the same (blue
bricks). But the question remains here (Belongs or not?)
I am a little confused with the Fonts on the bricks. The 725 have straight
letters, and I have later sets with the open O (1969). (I also have bricks 1x6
with mixed fonts, straight and open O, this is in other set). The garage have
three differnt fonts (including the old open O with the doted line in the
gate) I read in an old message that the fonts don´t match with any year, but I
expect some kind of correspondence.
I also saw that the 725 have like 700-800 pieces. (Some guy said that have
1500, but this don´t match). I have to count again it.
My 725 set arrive with two boxes. The print one and this inside a transport
one, that fits like a glove. This said Lego By Samsonite in BIG BIG letters.
(I love the outer box).

| Geeeeeeee, I love questions about sets 725 an 717......... :-) So my reply is mixed in below..... (...) That is nothing to be sad about.
