Um, right before 1x6x5 walls...

The 1x6x5 wall piece is not so bad. And a little known fact is how old that
piece really is. It dates back to the early 80's (maybe even late 70's). It
was rarely used, and some of it's few applications included as walls in all
three of the classic LEGO 9V Train stations (4554, 4555, 2150). It was also
used on a very early space set. However, I find it intresting that my 6376
Breezway Cafe uses two 1x3x5 walls instead of just the 1x6x5 walls that was
in production when that piece came out. I am not complaining though, the
1x3x5 wall piece is nicer.

Ya, they used 1x6x5 walls in a 1978 LEGOLAND Space set and then again in a
1980 LEGOLAND Space set -- and in both cases they were decorated elements.
That's much better (IMHO) than giving a STAMP[1]...
