Probably will Gary Istok have this information (but anyone else that have
any information is free to answer):
From the Norwegian technical museum homepages
(http://www.tekniskmuseum.no/no/utstillingene/plast/leker.htm in Norwegian
only) I can read that we in Norway was prevented by law to import plastic
toys in to the "end of the fifties" (I don't know exactly when). And I can
also read that Svein Strømberg A/S had license to produce LEGO in the
fiftties, and further it says that Norway was the first country outside
Denmark where LEGO was sold.
My question is, when did Svein Strømberg A/S start producing LEGO in Norway,
and did he export?
For how long did they produce LEGO in Norway?
Does anyone know when the law about importing plastic toys was changed in
Norway?
And last question is, was the LEGO sets produced in Norway any diffrent from
those produced in Denmark
