Some sets in the 1960's had over 100 clear bricks!!!!

Yes but to paraphrase a famous quote, "you can have it in any color, as long as it
is red".
Also, the current window packs (both regular and Dacta) are top heavy in doors.
I would love to order 1000 in each of the production colors: blue, yellow, white,
red.
Remember these can be used in multiples: 4 could make a 1x4x4 window, 6 could
make a 1x4x6 or a 1x6x4. These are very useful in mullioned (multi-pane) windows.

I agree, 1x4x3 is probably the ideal.

But never in any great quantity. The demand for these in white is.... well just
look at the Auczilla prices for these!!

Yes, but look at the price you have to pay just to get 4 or 16 of these, if that is
all you want. And then there are the black and red ones.

White! That is the color that is in most demand. Especially for Architectural
uses (columns, collonades, Greco-Roman temples).
