Received from Germany, the house and box, thank you Thomas!
Originally received in 2012 (second picture) now with original buildings.
Third picture is an original picture of the board in 1958 taken from a toy shop
folder.

LEGO: OLD WOODEN BOARD
(2012)Finally in from Germany, my own wooden board, thank you Kurt(c:
This board is from around 1958, introducing the then just new bricks with tubes.
The board was used by toy shop owners to show to their customers how to use the
new brick with tubes.
A few builds were gluid on there and people got to build on it, feeling how this
new tube system made for more building fun.
See here for the original:

The board is build up of a wooden back board, on it lay 7 thick baseplates 10x20.
The wooden plate is screwed onto the baseplates.
The bricks are all glued in place to the baseplates, so no other pattern can
be made.
The red bricks originally on here should not be there and have been put there
sometime in the past.
It is my understanding (from the text and new picture) there came more loose
bricks with this, so the shop owner could show his buyers the possibilities.
These loose bricks sat in the container on the right.
The text reads in German:"Please, build for yourself with LEGO and tell your
buyers too, how easy it is."
The black part is cardboard glued on the baseplate.
The bricks are glued onto the cardboard, a nearly identical one was used on the
patent application (4th picture).
It shows the different colors available at the time (no black bricks yet), the
top and bottom of 2 bricks and a few cut bricks to show the inside.
Very special also are the 4 transparent bricks with one orange tube.
Showing how the new tube system works.
It was also used on the 1958 small box:

The wooden plate measures 60 x 19 cm.

Er, is there a question in there somewhere? Or are you just showing it off?

| The transparent bricks with the different coloured tubes are very cool. Are they
painted or did they dual mould them back then? I wonder if they did it manually,
molding just the orange tube first then filling the rest in trans clear.

They are painted after the molding.
Don’t think they could do double molding back then 😁

Yeah, paint makes sense. Although I can imagine someone trying to inject just
a small amount with a hot syringe by hand.

I have some of those trans-clear bricks with a dark green colour in the tubes
(IIRC). I thought the person that gave them to me had done it.
