Hey all,
After another major re-sort of my collection, I decided to separate all the
1x2 grille tiles without the fingernail groove out of my big bag of the
grooved kind since it’s kinda hard to tell ‘em apart while digging. I was
surprised to find that I had quite a few of the non-fingernail groove type
in colors that I would not have expected (most especially green). Green was
a pretty scarce color outside of baseplates and trees for quite awhile so I
got to thinkin’ that some of these pieces must be pretty old. But just how
old are they?

According to peeron (not definitive, but certainly a good indicator) there’s a
fairly neat split around the end of 1994 -
those without grooves do not appear in
any sets after 94, and those with
grooves don’t appear in any sets before 95.
