In 1957 LEGO came out with the classic windows (9 different) and the

Here's a little quiz.  Out of the thousands of pieces LEGO makes today,
only 15 have been around since 1957.  Name them.  (Hint:  some pieces

Gary, Here's my best guess:

If I'm correct, do I get anything? ;)

If I'm not, will you send me the "list" to (eskimo2@worldnet.att.net)- my • new

1x1 Brick,

1x6 Brick,
1x8 Brick,
2x2 Brick, 2x2 Roof Brick, 2x2 Roof Top Brick,
2x3 Brick,
2x4 Brick, 2x4 Roof Brick, 2x4 Roof Top Brick,
2x8 Brick,
2x10 Brick,
6x8 Plate.

2x8 Plate
2x4 Plate
2x2 Plate
1x2x2 Window

I feel closer, but I think I'm still in the dark.

BTW thanks for the great challenge. I have been very careful to not read
anyone else's guesses. Maybe after your response to this one, I will.

(...) OK Wayne, you got 14 out of 15. The 2x2 plate didn't come into being until 1963. The item you have missing is the the one that has changed the most.... The 1x1 round brick. This brick had a pure cylinder outer facing from 1956 until circa (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)
