Recently, I was at a garage sale and found a nearly complete Black Seas
Barracuda set with original instructions and box. I noticed right away that
it had pieces that didn't belong to the set. After I got it home, I looked
through it and found some older bricks. I was wondering if anyone could let
me know how old they were and about what they would be worth. Description -

pending". Any help would be very much appreciated. -Dan Thompson
