I had always been looking for the very first 1949 LEGO sets with plastic bricks,
but the closest I ever got to was circa 1950... a year after the 1949
introduction of the LEGO brick (known as Automatic Binding Bricks until 1953).
My German collector friend Lothar had some images of an old set that a friend of
his used to own... and it has all the hallmarks of a 1949 (1st year) LEGO bricks
set.
Since we cannot (yet) post images on LUGNET, I posted this on Eurobricks where
image comparisons can be made....

This may be that the oldest LEGO brick sets of 1949. I'm waiting on TLG Archive
confirmation, but this boxed set (produced in a wooden box) has all the right
indications... that it dates to "Year 1"...
Cheers,
Gary Istok
