Gary (or anyone), Can you tell me what other sets (if the number isn't huge) come with the 1x2x2 yellow window. I have a few of these windows and I am pretty sure they did come from that old Shell set (325). I personlly found them at a garage sale (...)

(...) Lindsay, 1x2x2 windows do exist in black. But I can't say in what set. I purchased two of these, as well as one 1x1x2 (thin tall) window in black in a German toy stores train parts box back in the 80's. This wooden box with lots of partitions (...)
