Need Help Identifying Tin Station

Prewar AMERICAN FLYER O Gauge 104 Kenilworth Lighted Train Station

Thanks so much for your prompt reply.

One of the doors is bent in and the other is bent out.  Is that how it came or could the buyer do as he wished?

The doors should be open "in" at approximately 45º. See here for some pictures and info.

Thanks so much for the information about the doors.  The link you posted led to some very interesting reading.  I had no idea there were so many variations in American Flyer pre-war stations.  What is truly amazing is the condition of some of these stations considering they are 80+ years old.

That station could also be the 96 Flossmoor station, which is an unlighted version of the 104.  The late versions of the 96 station (yours is a late version) are quite rare.  I don't recall the details of the late version, other than it is unlighted.  I believe details on the 96 versus 104 stations can be found here.

Thanks for the additional information.  Unfortunately my station is lighted so it isn't the rare version.  I'll add some frosted material to the inside of the windows and it will be as good as new (or rather in a well used and played with state).

Interesting to note that, in general, American Flyer did not label their prewar stations.  Wonder why not?

Most of their stations were labeled and the earlier versions of the 96/104 stations were labeled as American Flyer in the lithograph.  Not sure why this version was not labeled. 

I have an American Flyer 104 Kenilworth lighted station and it does not have any American Flyer markings anywhere on the structure.  In fact, it is almost an exact twin to the OP's original photo right down to the heavily scarred roof.
