LEGO 1310-1 ESSO Filling Station is a System i Leg Town Plan set released in 1956, containing 96 pieces. It includes an HO 1:87 scale Bedford ESSO Tank Truck and is designed for Town Plan layouts of the period. The set was produced in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and in 1957 it was released in central Europe as set 310. It is identical to 310-5 ESSO Filling Station. A year out, the forecast has it at about $3,774.

ESSO Filling Station (1310-1) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $3,537.35 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1956, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.

There are currently no new/sealed listings available for ESSO Filling Station at this time.

Collectors

Investors

“The construction of the gas station (“Esso Filling Station”) was an experience for me, you don't open such an old set every day. Back then, LEGO bricks were still combined with other elements: the taps and the Esso sign do not have knobs and the beautiful Bedford tank truck... More as an eye-catcher gives the set a special touch.”

About System i Leg Town Plan

LEGO Town Plan was a theme introduced in 1958 and lasted until 1966 and was under the System i Leg (System of Play) theme. The theme was unveiled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in February 1955. LEGO Town Plan originally consisted of the existing 700 series LEGO Mursten sets, several new HO 1:87 scale accessories, and a vinyl play mat. However, over the next several years the system was expanded with both new building sets.

Town Plan consists of 30 sets that ran from 1955 to 1959. As of today, 1306 VW Garage is the most valuable Town Plan set with an estimated new/sealed value of $4,684.
