|
| I bought 2 tubs of older (60s-80s??) Lego at a garage sale and am looking for
info on anything in the image but specifically the white 2x4s that have holes
going through the sides. There are many of them, Patent Pending. Some also have
a 19 or 8 or other number in the corner. The white plate in the lower right
shows the underside. There is also red, white and blue base plates in the background.
The white shows the underside. I have many of them and they are either 10x20
or 10x10. Thank you for your help!

| Those bricks with the holes are for wheels like this:
The metal axles on the wheels go in the tiny holes and hold be friction.

You found a Samsonite lot.
The holey bricks are to attach wheels to your LEGO build 
The 10x20 and 10x10 are baseplates to build on.
The 10x10 was also used as a lid on Samsonite set boxes.
Nice find, looking good 👍

Missed that you were looking for info on the rest too
These are all old parts, so there are variations, but here you can see some and
look further.
Samsonite is a great part of the LEGO history, enjoy
And most of your bricks will be the old ones.

| Thank you so much! It doesn’t look like there are any wheels in the mix unfortunately
but I may luck out and find one or two buried in there. Like I said, I have
2 large tubs to go through. Mostly 2x’s, plates and ~20 of the larger baseplates.
There are lots of nice windows of different shapes and styles, fence pieces
and plenty of the white wheel bricks. A few printed bricks with the Lego logo
that stood out. Looks like I have some sorting to do!

I'm a bit surprised you didn't find any of these in black as well. Very
common from that era

Depends on when exactly, the white ones are older. They were used until 1970,
sets from 71 on use black ones. (At least that's what the catalog says.)

| So far I haven’t found any of the black ones. I’ll keep an eye out. I have
sorted the tubs yet, just raked through.
