Benjamin,
When there are very few specialty parts (like in the 60's and early 70's), it
becomes very difficult to determine what sets you have. The one thing that
strikes me is the 20 macaroni bricks. They are from the parts pack (#224) or
possibly (#424) if it is a UK parts pack. There are 20 bricks in the macaroni
brick parts pack (except for the Samsonite ones). The 1x2 white brick with the
notch at the bottom is from the lighting parts pack #245. From the sound of the
lack of Cellulose Acetate bricks, and the large number of 1x1 rounds without the
tapered base, I would say that a lot of these parts are from about 1964-67. So
you are talking the last half of the 1960's. The blue train tracks (150, 151)
confirm this. Based on the number of red/white bricks, and red classic windows,
I would guess that you have several basic sets (010, 020, 030, 040, etc.), but
since these sets don't have specialty parts, it is very difficult to determine
what basic sets you have.
