   Hi

I have just found the box for Duplo 514 circa 1972, but I can’t work out what bits go in it. (The set is my husbands and he can’t remember).

The pieces I have found do not fit well in the packaging and there is plenty of room for more.

Does anyone have a list of what pieces should be in this kit?

Many thanks

Linda

Here’s what I’ve been able to piece together from the 1972 catalog:

Duplo Brick 2 x 6 x 2 with Curved Center
2 red
2 yellow
1 blue

Duplo Brick 2 x 4
2 red
2 yellow
3 blue


Brick 2 x 2
1 red
2 yellow
3 blue

The set entry on Peeron entry shows a piece count of 17, but looking at the model on the box and in the pieces in the window, I say there are at least 18 pieces; the plastic window clearly shows a second, yellow 2 x 6 x 2 with Curved Center. I’m curious if there is an actual part number on the bottom of those curved pieces. Any chance you could take a flashlight an look?

If you do get an proper inventory, please post here it or submit it to Peeron so everybody can benefit.

Thanks Jack

There are indeed 2 yellow 2 x 6 x 2 with Curved Centre pieces. I have looked carefully at the base of the pieces and each has Pat pending, and has either nothing else, or a different number i.e. one of the yellows has 03 3 and the other has 03 1. I can give you all the others if you want.

I think that there are at least 18 pieces, but there is a second box of pieces at the rear of the outer box which is for the 2 x 4s and the 2 x 2s and there’s so much more room for other pieces I am sure (unless there was a lot of packaging), that there should be at least another 10 pieces.

Thanks for helping

Regards
