In a recent Ebay haul of miscellaneous bricks I acquired a handful or two of
what look like rather old bricks and a few plates. Most are white 2x4 bricks,
with a few reds thrown in, as well as some 1x2 white bricks and 2x8 white
plates. The plates have the square, griddish underside and no tubes, while the
1x2 bricks have no stud on the underside. Each stud on the bricks (though not
the plates) is topped by a sort of embossed disc, maybe 1/32" thick, on which
the logo appears in somewhat more bubbly lettering than I'm used to. I know
the gridwork underside has been discussed lately, but I can't find the thread.
Can anyone point me to it, or give me an idea of how old these bricks might
be? I have most of my collection since my first set in '74, and I'm figuring
that these bricks predate that.
As always, any info is greatly appreciated!
Dave!
