Topic: Pre-Lego question

I have in my collection a handful of Automatic Binding Bricks, the ones that pre-date the 1958 Lego brick.  They are red, yellow, green, blue, and white.  I recall seeing images of these bricks in medium blue in the original Lego Book (the 2000 edition) and other sources.  None of mine are this color and I've never seen them in real life.  Does anyone know if this is a real color for the pre-Lego bricks, or is it that the ones in the images have faded over time?  Medium Blue is my favorite Lego color and I'd like to find some.  But I don't want to go on a search if they don't exist naturally.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Re: Pre-Lego question

Not sure whose color scheme you're going by calling some blue and others medium blue, but it seems TLG only made the five colors. BUT there were quite a few shades of the old slotted bricks, so this post may help you.

Re: Pre-Lego question

I only own the five basic colors above.  The bricks I own have the slots.  When I say "Medium Blue", I'm referring to the Lego Group's definition for the color that primarily makes up the Creator Series' Seashide House.

The page you gave me contained a thread which was really useful and answered everything.  It turns out that there are many more colors that they produced.  Thanks!
