| The one in the bottom-center arrived today. Shown for comparison with 3 others
that clearly have the logo. For modern Legos I would reject it out of hand, but
I have no idea if things were different in the 70s-80s.
Is this a legit Lego?
Thank you!

Not Lego, imo.

I've never seen a cone with a hollow stud - only solid or open. And Lego
hollow studs typically have the logo at the bottom.

It looks more drilled than moulded hollow. Or an injection problem.
How does the bottom look?

how does inside it look like?
Look inside.
Do you see any number moulded? (like 1, 3 whatever)
Maybe it is drilled, melted,... but is original.

Looking at some older set pictures I noticed that if you look at some of the
sets that have the hollow stud cone that there is sometimes a bar placed inside
the recessed stud so I would try to see if a bar will fit snugly into the recessed
stud of your cone and if not then that should rule out the possibility of it
being a Lego cone.
Jim.
