Gary,
      Only one small thing I'd like to add.  The early Samsonite 1x2 plates
(and I think, but would have to check that i have models with 2x2 cellulose
acetate plates and 1x2 ABS plates) had a small rectangular pip on the
bottomisde, between where the studs fit, instead of teh more common circular
pip we see today.

Yes. I remember seeing one of those once and thinking it very odd/old. A white
one if I'm not mistaken.

I'm in the ongoing process of separating my older looking bricks from newer
ones as I come across them, so I can use older ones specifically when I want
them. The older ones, even the 2x4's, say "pat pend." on them.

it might be of interest that i found one of the architecture lego boxes
a while ago. that one had only the 1x2 plates with rectangular pips. i'm
quite sure now that they do not come in other than the architecture
sets.

have fun,

rufus t.

(...) Thanks for the info Rufus. I can verify that this weekend. I have some Cellulose Acetate 1x2 green plates (USA Samsonite only - hence not from an Architectural Pack). Gary Istok (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.general)
