I used to have plastic bricks made by a company called Elgo (same letters as Lego) but it looks like they were part of Halsam according to listings on eBay. Doing research is half of the fun of thrifting. Have a great weekend. Glad to hear Dixie is doing well. Thanks for commenting. <br />Did everyone else know that Legos originated in Denmark?Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357889638498051381noreply@blogger.com
