Thanks Ben, I guess Frank is busy right now. :-)
I also have some of the 1x2x1 and 1x1x2 windows in red or white without the glass
(some are in mint condition). Most of these are from Germany. Were these always
supposed to have the glass? If so, then maybe there was a problem with the glass
falling out at some point (perhaps a design flaw) - since the 1972-80 windows
without the window sills are the ones in question.
I know that the 1x1x1 windows came with and without glass (375/6075 Yellow Castle
had no glass), but I was wondering about these other two small sizes.
Vielen dank Ben!
