I was pretty amazed at these prices, I also followed the recent postings on
insuring Lego, with interest. Please excuse the deviation from topic here....
As a new collector, I have no idea how much our collection is worth.
The shell ones we have are the 604 shell service car 1978, 601 shell bowser
boy1978, 149 shell refueling station.
Anyhow, we have over 100 sets mint,(all with mint instructions, a couple in
the box) dated from 1966-1980.
We won't ever sell them,(sorry guys,they were my partners main obsession right
through childhood, and now I'm hooked, though unfortunately I never had any
Lego as a child) but would really like to insure them, I realise this is off
the previous subject, sorry, but need some expert advise as to how to value
sets that never seem to be on offer anywhere?
We also have a set which we can't identify, its a timber dovetailed box
(large) with a red sliding lid, with the white/yellow/black Lego logo on the
top, it has a double layered white tray inside, and was given to my partner
full of Basic (sometime in the 1970's) Now we don't know if this was an empty
storage container which was generously filled by the giver, or if it came
filled, if this is the case, where could we get an inventory list, for this?
Does anyone recognise the description of this set? I just looked and on the
underneath of the box is stamped a double joined triangle shape with the
number 02 or 32 stamped in it (can't read the number properly)
Can anyone help??
Rachel :-)

| It must be one of the wooden box sets that Lego released long long ago (60s or 70s, I don't have my catalog scans CD with me right now). There are several (at least 2 or 3) different sets released with wooden boxes, and if I'm not wrong one of them (...) (25 years ago, 26-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
