Hey Gary!

Is there anything you can tell me about these bricks?:

I'm not Gary, but I do have a lot of those bricks. They were produced by
Samsonsite in the US (and possibly Canada) in the early 1960s thru the 70s.
They produced several sets in the line

The bricks come in 4 colors (red, white, blue, yellow). There was also a truck
in white or grey with red wheels.

They are NOT Duplo, and are not interchangable with any other Lego brick. They
measure 1" x 2" x 4". They are also made of a slightly different plastic.

HTH,
Clark
