Hmmmm, the only green Cellulose Acetate bricks that I'm aware of are plates from
Samsonite LEGO (USA/Canada only, not available in Europe) parts packs (518, 519,
520, 521) from circa 1963-65. These plates would be only in sizes 1x1, 1x2, 2x2,
2x3, 2x4. I purchased a few of these as a child here in the USA (back in the mid
1960's), and still have them in my collection.
Besides these plates, the only other green LEGO bricks I am aware of, would be the
10x20 thick (regular brick thickness) green baseplates.
A few months ago I checked with some historic LEGO collector friends in Germany and
England, and they were not aware of the existence of any other green Cellulose
Acetate LEGO pieces in Europe.
So if you have any other green Cellulose Acetate LEGO pieces, that would be news to
us.
