This is a 700/5 set sold in Sweden circa 1958.

The images above show, in succession, the box cover and side, the contents, the inside of the box cover, the underside of the box and a few of the bricks and windows with magnification.

The box complement is as follows:

- 10X20vs03 "dogbone" baseplate (1X yellow);

- 2X8 first vs. with underside connectors "Pat.pend." (2X red, 1Xwhite);

- 2X4vs05 earliest "Pat.pend."(9X red + 9X white);

- mix of 2X3vs03 and 2X3vs04 (2X red + 2X white);

- mix of 2X2vs04 and 2X2vs05 (7X red + 7X white);

- 1X2vs04 (5X red);

- 1X2vs05 (3X white);

- Windows vs04c (full studs with glass, no pins) one 2X6/ two panes and shutters; vs05 , one 2X6 three panes; one 2X4, and two doors- one left, one right.

This set is original and mint, new in box with all inserts but lacking the leaflet.

The contents seem anachronistic but it is not the case, as I have found similar situations in other sets Particularly in the case of the 1X2 bricks in which the red complement is vs04 and the white is vs05, I have seen the very same situation in other sets in which the red and transparent were still vs04, while the white were already vs05. It represents a situation where, whether overstocks of red and transparent were being used up, or else the two molds were still in service simultaneously. The coexistence of different versions of 2X2 and 2X3 must be seen at the same light, while the vs04c window is likely an overstock.

More curious is the variability of set contents (compare, for instance with this German set) which is possibly an adaptation to stocks or random variability as a consequence of labor mistakes. This set has clearly an extra red 1X2 brick that should be white, while the images inside the box cover show the use of two 2X4 windows and the set only contains one. But it has a useless extra window.

The randomness of contents as well as the variability of colour distribution inside the boxes are characteristic of the early LEGO and my own Portuguese sets bought new circa 1958 and left unmixed since them, show this is at least in the contents of the 230 (trees), 214 (windows), and 226 (named beams) supplemental sets. This characteristic, which would be a major headache for a strict production engineer of today, was natural at the LEGO works of the time and is a fascinating subject.
