Ignore the teeth marks, and note the bad molding on bricks 1 & 2.  Yes they
are Lego.  Other pics show the studs.

So much for the "Golden Days of Quality Control" that some were pining for...

Hi all!

So I just wanted to point out, that the picture which Rob has posted to
underline, that quality wasn't automatically good in the "golden" past, shows
definitely CA bricks older than year 1963 (or out of samsonite production?).

The "golden years of LEGO quality" have been 1965 ... 1995(?). So this picture
tells nothing new, but only repeats that LEGO made a huge step towards
perfectionism when they changed from CA (bad!) to ABS (good!).


Not suer how you come up wit that conclusion.  These bricks are from
my old sets, purchased in Canada between 1973-1978.  I am suspecting
these specific bricks came from set 256-1 released in 1976.  I would
doubt that these were 10 year old bricks.
