This shows all four known Weetabix sets, none of which had set numbers,
which it why they are not listed at www.brickset.com

Interesting... I started hunting to try and pin down a year a little better,
but to little avail.

Some clues:
The logo - Doesn't pin a date down very usefully. 1972 or earlier, as it
           looks like the logo was changed in '73.
The windows - http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=29
              (No clue when these started/stopped production)
2x2 45 corners - http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3045
                 (again, no clue as to lifespan)
Flag piece? - I don't really recognize it-- it doesn't look quite like the
              one used in other 70's/80's sets due to the ball at the
              top-- dunno about the 1x1 round at the bottom; I can't
              really see from the picture :(
1x1 round w/ solid stud & tapered bottom - Anyone? (Gary? :)

Assumed pieces:
- 4x8 grey plate
- 6x6 grey plate (raised yellow tower?-- others have visible 2x2 holes in
the center)
- 4x8 yellow plate

As for baseplates-- looks roughly 20x30? Which would make for 3 10x20 grey
baseplate bricks?
