I'm born '72. So I think my oldest part are 1975 (that's the reason why I
initially thought I don't possess 3P). I certainly bought these 3P on yardsales.
A friend mail me this link : http://users.skynet.be/fa074739/
The guy (from Belgium) is searching for 3P and talk about 3P from 1968 to 1975 -
I am disorientated - I'm not able to join this guy until now.

| (...) PAT PEND was found on Lego bricks and parts from 1958 until the mid-to-late 1960's. 1958 was the year that TLG introduced the "binding brick" with tubes underneath. There were other patents issued for such things as sloped bricks and Lego (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.parts)
