I recently got a few Samsonite-era LEGO pieces in an Ebay lot and noticed a few
differences between those bricks and the current ones. Obviously the studlogo
is in a different font, and the underside of the plates is sort of "waffle-y,"
but the biggest difference is that the red seems to be a little more orange than
current red. Is this an effect of the bricks' age, or was there really a change
to the red color itself since that time?
As a minor note of comparison, I have some red LEGO bricks from about 1974 that
are effectively identical in color to the current red.
Curious...
Dave!
