| Aren’t these so cool! They are super junky looking, and I thought they were crappy
knock-offs. Turns out they are really old Lego. Does anybody know how old they
are? Thanks 😊

The struts / supports inside, replacing thickers wall, appeared in the late 1980s.
Before that there was cross support (between the tube and the walls) and before
that no support at all and those with slotted tubes and even before no tubes
and in the beginning slotted bricks (slots on the sides, to slip windows and
doors).
And quite a few variants in between every step, with various logos and other
details.
See https://www.leggodt.nl/items/lego/parts.php?group=2&withimages=yes&language=en#top
for instance.

....I'm confused by the other replies.
The logos on the bottom ones are old, like 1960s
Op does the plastic look off color? like a different plastic was used?

Looks like Samsonite to me.
Never use really and old in the same sentence. Makes me nervous.
