I just aquired a collection of 50's/60's lego [quite a bit of
ABS...including windows :) ] and was wondering which set(s) from this time
came with green 2x4 plates? [so I can try and complete these sets.]

Also, can anyone tell me when TLG stopped using ABS, and when Samsonite
stopped. [I don't know if the 2 companies stopped at the same time or not.]
