Fantastic... I really enjoy these types of posts!

What's your current age, I'm wondering now? In other words, was the set
new when you got it?

It's a secret (don't tell anyone): born in 1970.

Sets were new (back then we were living in Yugoslavia - no LEGO available). I
was lucky enough that my father travelled a lot (Germany, Italy, Austria...).

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I am having 70s flashbacks. I'm sure we had a couch
with that same fabric.

That is so nice you have that. Looks like a picture that could be used to advertise
how happy Lego makes young children (and old children.)

Absolutely - you look way less creepy than the kids in the official Lego ads
from that time!
