Hi:
I just finished scanning all of my 1960's Lego ads (well all 5
of them!) and thought that they came out good enough to post.
Temporarily they are secretly embedded in my Technic site at:
http://w3.one.net/~hughesj/technica/history/history_60.html
I finally figured out how to properly tile multiple scans into
1 image. Let me know what you think and if you have any more
information or corrections please let me know.
Thanks
Jim

| (...) it embodies the spirit of Lego building concisely: "Lego is imagination. Expression. Experiment. Creating." The next to last line makes me weep about inflation: "Enough Lego to build a town in the big $25.00 set." --Mike (25 years ago, 26-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)
