as formerly mentioned, i recently got set #375 (1960s Samsonite brick
set) at a yard sale for $1. not too special -- it's just a "universal"
style set -- but it has a lot of clear bricks and old-style windows and
doors and wheels and whatnot, which i liked, not to mention the cool pic
on the box top... :-)
***my question is this: there is one piece i don't get at all (am i
showing my age or lego ignorance???) it is made out of flimsier
flexible plastic, and it looks like two 2x2 tiles (that won't accept
studs on the bottom!) attached by a thin pole-type strip. sort of like
this, if you'll pardon the ascii art:
[]--[]
can someone tell me what this piece is supposed to do, and if it
appeared in other sets?
thanks,
nikky

| (...) This was used as a trailer hitch conection during the Samsonite era. You connect one end to the "car" and one end to the "trailer" element. I think it was also used on the early legoland train models that rolled on the blue track with red 2X2 (...) (26 years ago, 29-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
