You buy only one of the two items and the cheaper one has some glue residue on

I actually like the cheaper one better, but it isn’t in as good condition as
the other one.

Yes, it is mostly marbled bricks that get sold, but there are many more marbled

There is no set to them, early on LEGO made several loose items, like these ducks
or some call them swans.
They did not really have an idea of where to go yet, so they tried several things.
They were just general toy makers until they stumbled upon Kiddicraft bricks
from Hillary Page.
Copied them and started making the system we now know.

Nice collection of what appear more like swans than ducks, to me anyway.
Especially looking at the larger sample, you really recognize the "swan" neck,
head and bill shapes. Beautiful mold, btw!
You're a treasure trove of Lego historical items and knowledge, yourself
Maxx. TLG should bring into the fold and utilize folks such as you, if they don't
already

There was another person that really helped me a lot when I started with historical
LEGO. His name was Gary Istok (spelling ). This gay can ramble on and on.

I love old LEGO, it is just that I have chosen to dive into 2x4’s, but I still
own a lot of other old stuff.
And having a friend that owns a LEGO museum helps too

I really believe there is more knowledge on here about LEGO history than they
know themselves.
Unfortunately we lost the LEGO historian on here due to some shady business,
but his dvd should be on any LEGO employee’s computer.
And to get into my own specialty, LEGO hardly has any knowledge about the test
bricks.
(or are not letting anything out…)
BrickLink could open up some space for general LEGO knowledge, picture with text
about these swans for instance.
Lots of people have no idea what is out there.
Here is something I one day hope to own:

A company-owned product museum?
Have you been there? What's it like?
And Maxx: Have you been there, too? Do you possess items they do not?
|
|
Haven’t been there yet, but I have seen lots of pictures and know many that did
go there.
I have several items I don’t think they have, remember, they lost a lot through
fire.
And in the beginning they weren’t busy keeping track of everything they made,
they were simply surviving.
| |
If you do, Maximillian, calculate a trade. I'm sure as a company enterprise,
they've a curator on payroll running it. Someone that's able to negotiate
such things without needing further approval.
|
I have had some luck with reaching people on the inside over the years, but often
we know more than they do.
Even over the simple stuff…
If they want, they can get a lot of info and test bricks from me, but I guess
they aren’t interested
About more items I have, not all is photographed, but a lot is on my Flickr account:

That is what posting a nice item does, BrickLink really should have a better
page for such items.
Unless you know where to look, you will miss a lot of great stuff.
This came to me in a bulk lot yes, I believe from someone living near Billund.
I have one left, but it has less marbling, still nice though
