Thanks Tony,
Glad I could add a little nostalgia to your day!
There is another variation to add to this mix. That is the 1x1x1, 1x1x2
and 1x2x1 windows, which came with and without the plastic "glass". The
without sill variety of these windows came in both (glass and glass-less)
styles.
And then there is another variation for the first year of LEGO windows -
1957. Windows made that year had complete studs on top (with LEGO
imprinted on top). After 1957, the studs had the "crater" look that they
still have today (with LEGO at the bottom of the depression). The 1957
LEGO window variety is very rare today.
Here's my short list of very rare LEGO windows:
Any 1957 variety windows and doors.
1x2x2 and 1x2x1 in yellow WITH SILLS. Only ever found in Shell set 325
from 1966.
1x2x2 and 1x1x2 in black (only found in 70's train sets).
1x2x2 in grey (only found in 7740 Intercity Train).
