where X marks the hole.

Anyone have a clue from which set this brick could have come from? Please,
help me solve this mystery!


Hmm.... is that a part from one of the older BASIC sets, for the wheels or
soemthing?


Could be... the hole is about the same size as the holes in the old BASIC  2 x
4 Brick with Wheels Holder. I'll see if I can fit an old basic wheel into it
when I get home.

Interestingly enough I have a similar brick, but it is a red ABS 2x8 brick with a
hole in the center, rather than to one side.  I haven't had time to investigate it
yet.  But something tells me it is from the period 1966-75.
