Well, maybe, maybe not. :-) It is one of those gray areas. Do I include car windows?
Such as the 2x4x1.666 (the 1 brick and 2 plates high) double sided car windshields from
the 70's? And then there's the clear bricks used as windows in the #310 Esso Service
Station. And then there are the minifig stiff era doors that are 1x3x4 (from the 70's).
I agree that there are more than the original 10 windows/doors, but that will probably be
a separate topic.

| You've actually left out a type of "classic" window--the 1x2x2 train windows that were available in just a few sets in the mid-70's (137, 164, 182, and 727). These aren't "classic" windows in the sense that they have the same type of frame-and-glass (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.general)
