Way back when, when Samsonite ran the Canadian Distribution for Lego,
they offered a spare parts sale through the Lego Club. I was a wee
tyke then, so it must have been around 1980 or so. I ordered a box
of parts, and it turned out to include a small stack of baseplates,
32x24 and 48x24, plus a big pile of classic windows - 1x1x1, 1x1x2,
1x2x2, 1x2x1, 1x3x2, 1x4x2, and doors: 1x2x3, which opened. There
were also bunches of the old extension ladders - but only the bottom
half. The windows were in red and yellow; the doors just yellow, and
the ladders were grey and yellow. The baseplates were in green and
in blue. Anyone remember this sale? I was disappointed at the time,
but the pieces have been a godsend for making town structures.
