So I have these two boxes that appear to be from the 60s. Does anyone know what
these are and exactly how to value these? There’s literally nothing on the boxes
except for the words “Building Toy” and the tape that reads “Lego Loveland”.
I assume there are just multicolored bricks inside of here, but is it possible
that these are actual sets of something? Or just random bricks? Both boxes
are unopened and I don’t want to open them. Any help would be much appreciated!

I would be very interested in these — I haven't seen them before, but I live
very close to Loveland, this is a rare find for sure

I called the Bricks and Minifigs store in Loveland yesterday and they also said
they are rare and would be interested. Do you know what they are inside? How
much they would be worth or how much you would offer me?
Thanks!

opened?
Thansk!!!

THANKS so much for the assistance. Just curious...the boxes appear to both be
the same size. Do you think they are both the same promotional set? The reason
I ask is because I see there were 3 or 4 promo sets but they were all different.
I assume if the sets were different the box sizes would also be different?
Just trying to find if both boxes are set number 1 or if they are different.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Do you have a gram scale? Different sets probably have different weights.

Very cool!

"In April 1965, Samsonite opened a second plant, a 50,000 ft2 facility
in Loveland, Colorado, devoted exclusively to Lego manufacturing and by the mid
1960’s Samsonite was marketing an almost completely different assortment than
in Europe"
