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.
Most of these bricks came in 'named bricks' parts packs. Several were also
included in each of the larger building sets of the time. The origins text
file in each folder has any information I've collected about the bricks. My
goal is getting pictures, any pictures, so set origins have not been a priority.
The brick you are looking for is German for fire workers, so it may have
been included in a fire station set. The best place to look for German
bricks is the German Lego website:
http://www.1000steine.de/forum/
There are several people there that speak English. They are very helpful,
and have submitted many pictures to my collection. Tell 'em Clark sent ya;
they'll know what you are looking for ;-) My picture collection has started
many a discussion over there.
The esso drum brick shows up on Gary Istok's 10 rare parts list, Item #1:

I have only seen that part for sale once, and they made notice here:
http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=30417
The auction mentioned was by a European who was selling alot of vintage &
very rare pieces. If I remember, it was won by the usual deep pocket bidder
from Europe. The auction was for 2 of those drum bricks, one in better shape
than the other. The auction ended in the area of $150 for both. I would
really like a picture of that drum brick.
Email me if I may be of any further help,
Clark

| Clark, Again, thanks. I should have a number of pictures to contribute that I don't see on your website (including an Esso drum once I get it!).
