Do you have a possibility to take a snapshot of the parts?
I would be inclined to think they may be parts from the 50's, not in ABS but
in acetate. The molds were different then, and the logo was slightly
different too. I cannot be sure of this though, all I know about these parts
comes from what I've read here before and not from first-hand experience :-/
If the word LEGO is there, it's quite surely LEGO; what it may be is *older*
than you think...

| Whilst on the subject of Lego / not Lego, I have a question. I have recently bought at a boot fair a bag of Lego, most appearing to be the same era as the stuff I have from childhood, c 1970's. A fair bit of the Lego is obviously different though. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
