Among a lot of 2nd hand lego from the seventies (ca 1971 - 1977, no older

perfect, so I don't think someone has drilled it in the brick.
I could not find any reference about this brick on Peeron or BrickLink.
I think this brick is used to fit a rope through so a child (or AFOL ;-) ) can
drag a vehicle with that rope.

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:

That part has recently been added to the Peeron catalog, but doesn't show in any
inventories yet.
Hope that helps,
Clark
