Back to the LEGO System .....

You should know, and it's always good for our personal culture, that between 1962 and 1988 it was Samsonite who manufactured the bricks under license and distributed the LEGO brand in Canada and the USA. Manufacturing stopped in the United States in 1973, when LEGO moved to the United States. TLC then moved to Canada in 1988 when the first brick separator was released, but that's another story.

From this time, rillette11 posted on his flickr gallery photos of original boxes or scans of catalogs. Something to impress, and if you understand English, linger on the comments of each photo, you will learn many things about this LEGO by Samsonite era. You will find other visuals on the same theme at this address.

Be careful, we quickly spend a few hours without realizing it. There is so much to see on this very well documented site.
