LEGO System by Samsonite: Jumbo Bricks 1964-1972

Samsonite has before LEGO came with Duplo bricks, her own baby and toddler LEGO on the market: LEGO Jumbo Bricks. These stones are much larger than the current LEGO Duplo bricks. They are bigger than a Duplo stone and less than a Quatro stone, they are exactly in between. The disadvantage of these stones is that you can not combine them with other LEGO formats, you can not use them with LEGO or Duplo bricks to build, you can use only Jumbo bricks to build. Besides the stone Samsonite also came with a cart for the Jumbo Bricks, Number 042 contained a cart. The Jumbo bricks come in two sizes: 9.5 x 4,7 x 2.8 cm  and  10 x 6 x 2.5 cm
