SNIP
This is good new.
Lego has been plagued by clones for as long as Lego has been produced.
I received a quantity of slotted Lego bricks (1949-57) from a Danish seller.
And in that assortment (about 1000 bricks) there were about 30 clones.
These were slotted bricks that were made of a different plastic (not
Cellulose Acetate). They made a clanging sound when in contact with each
other.

What were the studs like? I have some East German clones from my childhood,
the studs are very deformed, as if you had carved a plus sign out of them
down to the level of the rest of the brick. Mostly yellow. Neat shingle
system for the roof, the shingles are individual plastic and they push into
wooden carriers that run horizontally.

The studs unadorned. The middle had a slight raised area, which for lack of a
better term looked somewhat like a “nipple”, with concentric circles around them
(probably from the mold milling machine). I have examples of these clones in
red, white, yellow and light green.
Hey Lar, can you send me an EMAIL (so I can reply). Everytime I try to send you
one I get it back as an undeliverable message. I’ve tried about 5 times in the
last 6 months.
Thanks,
Gary Istok
