I recently picked up this lot of printed bricks:

I'm wondering if anybody knows where the 6 larger bricks came from
and approximately when they were made (Gary I.??).  The "Baeckerei" and
"Tabak" bricks do not have "Lego" printed on the studs; it's only printed
inside the bricks.  The other 3 except the "Hotel" brick have "Lego" in
the older script on the studs, while the "Hotel" brick has the newer
script.  I think the "Hotel" brick may be ABS, while the others are almost
certainly cellulose acetate.  They're all a little warped/yellowed (except
the "Hotel" brick).

As a related question, I've noticed 3 different varieties of 1x2 plates,
and I think I only recall 2 in Gary's plate history.  One is the modern
with round pip in the bottom center, one the older with rectangular pip,
and the third is an older version with no pip.  Which is older, the
non-pip or the rectangular-pip version?

The (hollow bottom) named beams with the logo were from (...) (24 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.general)
