Hi

The plate is from Architectural Sets. I quote Gary Istok in an old post (I
didn´t found the number).

Gary Istoq wrote.....

"Interestingly enough, the only other large CA gray plate that I am aware of
was (continental Europe only) from those 1963-65 Architectural Sets parts packs
(the hard plastic clear box version of plates packs 518, 519, 520, 521).  These
had an 8x11 (yes that is a strange size) gray plate as the bottom of the parts
pack box (where an 8x11(x4) clear plastic box fit over the top of.  These were
the parts packs for the shortlived Architectural series (1963-65) of sets - 750,
751, 752."


And my little contribution....

It have a cardboard and the box slip inside. The boxes had 4 different
pictures and a little panflet.. I´m  OK?.....

Hi all,

I put a picture of some old pieces on brickshelf
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=18139).
Can anyone tell me what sets this is from? Must be 50's or 60's, but I
haven't seen any pictures of it anywhere. All the studs have the LEGO logo
on them, so it definitely is the real thing...

Most probably a car showcase for the HO scale cars that Lego produced in 50's and 60's. Actually I could be wrong, since
the ones that I saw before were 4 studs wide. Tore Ericson and Gary Istok can give more insight I think.

Don't know about the pictures, but I have the pamflet. I'll put a scan up tonight. Can anyone tell me where to find pics/scans of these sets and/or those four pics? Duq "Manuel Cueto" <mcueto@latino.net.co> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 25-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Manuel is correct. It is the Architectural Series Parts pack box (#518, 519, 520, 521). Originally, these were made in red/white/blue/black...ray/clear, but NOT yellow (that color was not a part of the Architectural sets). I have about 40 of these (...)
