Found this Old Hasbro Play Set called " Let's Play Conductor" No. 1980. Has all the stuff still inside, Hat, Tickets (never used) Flag, Hole Punch, Chalk, Next Train Leaves Chalk Board, Time Tables, Original Pencil (never sharpen). Nice set but can't find any info. I see one with Captain Kangaroo but not this version? Anyone?? Thanks!

Is there any date on any of the printed material or the box? Such as a printing date or copyright date?
Mfg by Hassenfeld Bros. Inc Pawtucket RI USA NO. 1980. No dates.
Wikipedia has a list (noted as incomplete) of Hasbro games and Hasbro Toys and neither list has this game noted. The only thing helpful is that Hassenfeld Bros. shortened their name to Hasbro in 1968 so if the material in the box still says Hassenfeld Bros. it is probably pre-68. The box looks to be in excellent condition and if it is so hard to find on the net, it means RARE. Nice game, thanks for sharing.
I think this is pre 1956, heres why, Hasseen feld Bros created a playset called Lets Play Conductor Captain Kangaroo in 1956. I found this in a book online and it looks like it said this was this was beofre the Captain Kangaroo change over? Heres the link, tell me if Im reading it correctly?

Looks like you're reading it correctly. The game predates the Captian Kangaroo Set. Nice set.
Total classic set
