... then in later 1955 the REAL LEGO came to Sweden. GEAS KONSTHARTS likely had
their license revoked to produce LEGO like bricks (using real LEGO molds without
the logo on the studs)... and another firm started producing actual LEGO.
That company was A/B LUNDBY a maker of Swedish Dollhouses. A/B Lundby was owned
by a man by the name of Axel Thomsen... who got the license to produce real LEGO
for Sweden in 1955... and here is one of the first sets...

Of this very complex Swedish GEAS/PRIMA/LUNDBY... Automatic Binding Bricks/LEGO
story... the last pieces of the puzzle just came together (thanks to Jan Katanek
and Lothar Gastleiter)... about a month ago. Now I have to explain it all to
the folks at the TLG Archives/Collections... who don't know of any connection
between TLG and GEAS (neither does the still existent GEAS company!).
And when I finally get them on board with the Swedish connection... then I can
start working on the Svein Strømberg & Co. Norwegian LEGO connection!! :-O
Enjoy the confusion... LEGO MAYHEM at its' finest!
New stuff for the next version to my LEGO DVD/download... free to current
owners... :)

| Unlike Italy's MINITALIA, and Japan's OLO, PRIMA was a LEGO product that appears to have NOT been produced by TLG.
