FWIW (Don probably won't see this, without online access), but the element
he's talking about came attached to a boom, 2x3 base, double sloped, with
two "arms" that held the hook-tab from either side. 3 other sets had this
red boom/red hook combination:
2x3 Sloping Brick, Top Boom with Hook: Red/Red
Qty Color Set U.S. Set Name Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ---------------------------- ---- -------------
1 * 642 Tow truck and car (European) 1978 LEGOLAND Town
1 * 6363 Auto Repair Shop 1980 LEGOLAND Town
1 * 6679 Tow Truck 1980 LEGOLAND Town
Then around 1995, TLG rereleased this part combo, this time with a grey hook:
2x3 Sloping Brick, Top Boom with Hook: Red/Grey
Qty Color Set U.S. Set Name Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ----------------- ---- --------------
1 * 6562 Gas Stop Shop 1995 Transportation
1 * 6337 Fast Track Finish 1996 Race
1 * 6548 Octan Gas Station 1997 Town Jr.
I personally don't have any of the hook in red, only grey, but hopefully
this will help other sellers out there to know what's being discussed.
