One other thing I didn't address was the different Lego bricks. I am waiting
for a large group of 1949-56 Lego bricks from a Danish seller. I will be
studying them for the different types. But here is what I know of so far:
1949 No Tubes/Slotted Bricks/CA
1950-52 No Tubes/Slotted Bricks/CA
1953-56 No Tubes/Slotted Bricks/CA
1957 No Tubes/Old Lego Font/CA
1958-62 With Tubes/Old Lego Font/CA
1963-present With Tubes/New Lego Font/CA
The 1949 bricks do not say Lego anywhere on them. The 1950-52 and 1953-56
bricks say Lego underneath, but in different designs. Starting in 1957, Lego is
written on the brick studs.
Of the last 2 categories, the 1958-late 60's bricks have PAT PEND.
When I find out more about the old bricks, I will notify Clark Stephens - the
Database Admin for both Lugnet and Peeron.

| (...) Gary, did you mean to put the ABS switch in there somewhere? I would like to find a 2005 CA brick :) Eric (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.parts)
