Hey Rob,

I just recently got a set 283 "Sloping Ridge and Valley Bricks" in Blue
service pack from the 1958-67 era, which is in the Lugnet Database.

It has the following:.

(10) 2x2 blue outside corner bricks (rare!)
(5) 2x2 blue inside corner bricks
(3) 1x2 blue tri-sloped apex bricks
(1) 2x2 blue apex connector
(1) 2x2 apex brick with "L" roof line (2 gable ends perpendicular to each
other) **

**  This rare piece was only made from 1950's to circa 1967.

With your lust for sloped bricks, do you have this set?
