now, being more like a very red-orange(1) and, if I'm saying this correctly, it
seems like it doesn't have as much dye in it despite it's (apparently faded)
color. The Lego logo on the stud has rounded lettering like one of the old
logos, and the piece itself holds on like grim death.
What year were these round 1x1's introduced, and when were they
discontinued?
