| I recently bought a Lego lot. Some of the Lego is old (1960? 1970?). The main
difference is the font used or the orientation of the writing on bricks 2x3
and larger (I have five different versions compared to present day Lego). My
question is. Can you help me determine which font/brick is from what years? It
probably doesn't make much difference but I am curious. I would like to list
them based on their age, as some buyers may want older bricks for older sets.
Here are the descriptions of the differences between each block. Left to right...
#1
Small writing, a different kind of plastic (lighter feeling and the red is lighter
red) the G is kind of squarish and there is more space between the L and E and
G in other versions 1 x 2 are hollow. Pat. Pend inside bricks
#2
Open "O" on the word Lego. Heavier plastic and the red is darker (closer to the
present day red). 1 x 2 are hollow. The light gray plates have circles on the
bottom, not waffle. Pat. Pend inside bricks.
#3
Writing is in a different direction on larger bricks (2 x 3 and larger) horizontal
vs. vertical. 1 x 2 bricks are hollow. Pat. Pend inside bricks.
#4 writing is smaller than #5, and #5 the printing is a little smaller than present
day. Pat Pend inside bricks.
#5 Printing on studs is a little larger than #4, but small than new bricks. Pat
Pend inside bricks.
#6 New brick.

keep them separate, do they have different part numbers? Is there any market
for them?
