I know that I got mine in a #7 Universal Set back in mid-seventies. I also
got one in a #2 Universal Set, for which I still have the box, showing the
base plate as one of the parts.
These weren't buckets though, they were boxes. In the case of the #7 set,
it was a large flip-lid style box. The base plates were right on top when
you opened the box. As far as I know the earlier ones had no tubes around
the edges... they were really true baseplates, and you couldn't easily
attach other bricks to the bottom of them. Later the same sized plates
came out with a single row of tubes around their underside outer edges, to
allow them to be built into models.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Allan

| Allan thanks for the info, Mine have the tubes around the edges, so 2 must be from #7, don't know where I picked up the third one. Chris Hill (...) (25 years ago, 21-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| Hi, does anyone know what sets 10x20 green brick baseplates come in? I'm guessing some sort of bucket from the early 70's, I have a couple but can't remember the 70's ;) thanks, Chris Hill (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
