| Dear Experts,
I have the chance to buy a set from 1976. The seller is telling me that the set
is completely new and was just accidently opened. And the set looks really very
good and the seller sent a photo from the opened box with all the parts inside.
I'm just wondering that the parts are not packed up in a transparent plastic
bag - although the set is declared as new.
Does anybody know if lego uses plastic bags for the parts in 1976?
Of course, my question is a little bit strange, but maybe someone can help.
Best regards and thanks for every hint in advance

There are sets from older periods that had cardboard and plastic inserts that
hold a few or individual parts in a parts shaped or otherwise formed ‘cavity’.
They didn’t (always) had plastic (or nowadays paper) bags with parts.
If you show us the setnumber we might help you better but maybe you want to keep
others away from your potential buy…

Definitely not sealed plastic bags the way they do today - all sets were packed
by hand on an assembly line.

Not a weird question, but a good one.
At that time sets were packed loose inside the boxes inner packing.
Like a tray inside.
But it really depends on the set.

In the past year, I've opened sealed sets from 1973 and 1978, and neither
had bags of any type inside the box. All of the parts were just loose in the
box.
