All of these small accessories have a similar history so we have grouped them together. Bachmann did not even list the production numbers of these items in their catalogs, save that they did show them in the 1951 catalog among the contents of the CD-5 Dealer Window and Counter Display Unit.

All of these were originally available in 1951 with the release on the ON-5 Outdoor Necessities card. Starting in 1952 they would be available in the ST-1 Street Accessories Unit, and the SU-5 Shopping Unit. The only place these items could be found in subsequent years were in the various Master Units that contained them.

By 1975, with the release of the Park Assortment, the WH-5 Fire Hydrant color was changed to ORANGE and the MB-6 Mail Box color was changed to RED.
