Description

Thirty-two different parts

The variety stands out: the 44 white bricks include 32 different parts, so duplicates are rare. That lets you spell short words, names or signs without the same few letters running out. The pack complements the numbers set from the same range and shows how early the idea of labelling was taken up, so that models could be given a name as well as a shape.

Names, signs and details

In a build the letter bricks suit shop signs, station names or lettering on vehicles. Collectors look for them as a typical piece of the early years. The full parts list with every letter is on this page, and the What Can I Build tool helps you check what you could make by combining the pack with the bricks you already have.
