(...) The only decorated tile without a finger groove that I know of is the 2x2 with a large black disk (3068P17). This came from the Homemaker set 263 dated 1974. I've no idea whether this _also_ exists with a finger groove. Chris (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The hears of my yellow castle 6075 horses are grooved 1x2 tiles. My set was bought year 1981. The set was available here (france), year 1979. In those times lego group has used rare printed parts and many stickers. Damien (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
