| (...) Nice collection Jim. I too have the November 1962 Samsonite Saturday Evening Post ad. LEGO ads are a nice sub-topic of LEGO printed collectibles. Gary Istok (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)

I won't be hurt, because buying more of them means that I will now be able to build grander and more detailed buildings. Yeah I have 42 (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)

| (...) I have been thinking about this topic for a very long time. My take on this is that in lugnet.general, the most people will be exposed to the history behind LEGO. If we were to make say a lugnet.history, or a lugnet.classic, perhaps a lot of (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)

| Dear Brad, In addition to my previous question about the classic era windows, here is an example of the early Continental European LEGO Windows & Doors box from the late 1950's. If classic windows are a possibility for the future, here is an example (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.general)

| | Rare 1958 Dealers Windows & Door Box

| I know that ordinarily this info is for lugnet.auctions, but for the sake of educating AFOLs, I thought I would mention (and show) this.
