Here on a Swedish web auction is a very interesting 1955 Lego set #700/1. If
you scroll down, you will see blue classic windows in the box of Lego. Next
to them are red classic windows. The red ones are modern (late 50’s thru
80’s. But the blue ones are taller than the classic windows doors that we know
of today. Also, they do not have studs on top, but “wings” on the side to fit
into the slotted bricks of 1949-56. They are not compatible with Lego of
today (unless you used them with those 1x2 bricks with a groove for the modern
Lego rolltop garages).

The window/door sizes are (with the shorter modern classic sizes in
parenthesis next to it):
1x6x4 Panorama Window (1x6x3)
1x6x3 3 Pane Window (1x6x2)
1x6x3 Shuttered Window (1x6x2)
1x4x3 Window (1x4x2)
1x3x3 Window (1x3x2)
1x4x2 Door (1x3x2)
These tall classic windows first came out in autumn of 1954, and were sold
until early 1957. These were only ever sold in Denmark and Sweden, and came
in red, white and blue. They are rare in any color, but blue is the most
desirable.

And in case you have never seen how these rare old windows/doors fit into the slotted bricks (1949-57) here are two examples from German collector Karl-Heinz Vogt's brickshelf gallery: (URL) The top one is a 1x3x3 white window of the 1954-57 (...)
