Hi, all (or maybe we can narrow this down to Gary at the outset! :-)
I have a set 460 Rescue Units from 1973 which is missing a 1x1 white tile. The
tile snaps between the studs of a plate on top of the ambulance. I've tried a
new 1x1 tile, and it doesn't hold very firmly. My question: did tiles at the
time perhaps not have the small indentation at the bottoms of the sides, and
thus would have held more firmly between studs on a plate? The 430 Biplane
from 1974 I got in the same lot as the 460 has a 2x2 yellow tile with the
indentations, so I know that the modern style is at least that old.

| The old style of flat tile didn't have indentations at the bottom and, as a result, are a pain to prise off baseplates! I'm not sure when they swapped over though as my non-indented flats were inherited from my brother - I wasn't old enough to play (...) (24 years ago, 25-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
