| I am looking for a brick inventory list for the 1962 Lego Samsonite set 704-3.
I know it should contain 165 pieces, but that is all I know. I looked everywhere....
Can anyone help?

Short of someone finding one that is still sealed, we may never know.
Basic Samsonite sets of this era usually included a generic instruction book
that had "ideas" but no part list or indication of the parts included. This set
would just have had mostly red and white bricks (1x2, 2x2 and 2x4), possibly
some trans-clear bricks, and some red windows and doors. It was introduced in
1962, when the bricks and windows would have been made out of cellulose acetate
plastic, but beginning in 1963 they may have been mixed with ABS parts. It would
not have had any wheels or wheel holders, as these were sold in a separate set.
This particular set was sold only through department store catalogs (like Sears).

| Thank you for the help.
So far this is what I have and is in line what you are saying:
- This container should contain 165 pieces (Pretty close to what is in it)
- Mostly if not all CA plastic (correct!)
- Puzzling the inventory together based on "what can be made with this set" info.
I believe I will get to the 165 pieces.... I will upload the inventory as soon
as completed.
PS: This is a picture of the canister.
