(...) Thanx all, The lot contained some 2x4 duplo bricks as well (only 2x4s). Including some white bricks, I didn't know there were white duplo bricks back then.

(...) Niels, You are correct. That is a system-size brick that was used in early Duplo sets. It had a rope attached that allowed the child to turn a Duplo wheeled base into a pull toy. Here's a pic of the part: (URL) part has recently been added to (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.duplo)

Please don't redirect irrelevant threads to .duplo. I don't think this is an appropriate way to handle behaviour that you presumably consider childish.
