Well, that set is the exception and I never knew about it until now. There are
not very many sets that contain more than a handful of macaroni.
Whoa---another set with that neat, 4x4 pointed cone!!! I know there was an old
Train set that had 2 of these and I thought that was it. A VERY nice piece
and very rare, AFAIK.
I have 2 of those 4x4 pointed cones that I got from a German Ebay seller and I
had to pay a large sum to get each one of them (sold at different times). I
consider them to be the oldest and rarest item in my collection and I would
never sell them [1]
Now that I have evidence that they were in _TWO_ sets, then they are less rare,
so I may have to re-assess which pieces in my collection are now the oldest and
rarest.

[1] Would never consider selling them for less than $40 each, anyway.
