| Hi,
Bought a 3# bag for $6 at the thrift store today of visibly vintage bricks.
Along with the milky white hinge coupling nylon and printed 'Garage'
and 'Theatre" bricks it also had a large handful of green 1x2, 2x2, 2x3
and 2x4 CA plates. After some research I found that they were only produced
in North America for a couple years (1963-1965) and never apart of a set just
an accessory box. Is there a market for these and how would I go about selling
them?
Also, a few of the pieces have the logos not squared up. One stud will be 'printed'
at an angle. How does this even happen?
Vintage needs to be more than 50 years old not 20, in my opinion.

Hi Sandra,
Yes there are collectors out there for these parts.
The misaligned logos is pretty standard for Samsonite bricks, see picture.
The studs are loose mold pieces and can be removed and or replaced.
Samsonite just didn’t care about quality and so we get these nice all over the
place logos 😁
You can list these parts under their normal,listing, just add Samsonite, CA and
Pat.pend to the description.
If you want I can guide you to interested people.
Prices for these plates can give you a nice return on your $6 investment 👍
I myself am still looking for a green Samsonite 2x4, but in brick form.
If you have more questions, just ask.
Cheers,
Maxx
