I've only ever seen the black ones - fancy that! I definitely have one, may
have two. Will have to have a look when I'm next at my mum's.

I've got those in red - presumably to go with the red 4x5 plate with the
hole...

I shall have to look through all my old stuff now my little brother's
interest in Lego is fading. I prefer early minifig to the mid 70s stuff (but
the late 70s sets where minifigs were babies were fab!) so I don't mind
trading some bits and bobs when I get it all back!
