Wow, Kevin, Clark,
I am stunned by the number of printed bricks out there. Of course now I am
determined to find a few more, especially "Feuerwehr". Any more information
you can give me on which sets the bricks originally came with or how I might
obtain others would be greatly appreciated. Incidentally, I have the
Philips with the larger type (it took me almost two years to find!) Oh,
BTW, I was so dissapointed about a month ago that I lost some VERY rare
Dutch bricks on Ebay. Anyone ever heard of an "Esso drum" brick--I've been
offered one but at a very steep price.
Warmest regards,
Robert Watson

| Robert, Glad my site was interesting. Which auction had the dutch bricks? There are several of them that aren't in my collection. Perhaps I could get a picture from the seller.
