      (...) This could be my oldest actual set. My oldest bricks are at least as old as 1960s since I have CA bricks. I wouldn't be surprised if I have some 1950s bricks. (24 years ago, 24-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)

        Re: What's your oldest set? —Alan Demlow
     This probably depends on how you define "set" (what does "is" mean? :-) I have a few sets from 1973-74 that I just picked up second-hand, and these dates match the oldest sets we had in our childhood collection.
