I forgot.  I also have some bits and pieces of old Micronaut toys.  These
were my favorites prior to my discovering LEGO.  They were made up of
interchangeable pieces as well.  They were popular in about 1973-77.  Did
anyone play with these?

I sort most of my bricks by size and color.  However, I have a large
catch-all bin (about 2 feet by 3 feet by 1 foot) if miscellaneous parts • that
haven't yet been sorted.

This bin includes portions of my childhood collection as well as • collections
aquired from some other children.

I'm always amazed at the non-LEGO stuff I find in this collection.

I have found:

thumb-tacks (removed after I was impaled)
a football figure
coins
plastic model pieces from the 70's (my favorite is a radar antenna from • the
original Star Trek Enterprise)
wires and pieces of wire covering (I was into electronics)
a plastic cover for an old relay (again from my electronics hobby)
misc. bits of paper
various unidentifiable small toys.
some Brix-Blocs pieces (these pre-date the LEGO pieces)
The tail fin of a balsa wood airplane

What interesting things have you found in your LEGO collection?
