700/2 Gift Package is a set released in 1949, part of the Automatic building bricks line. The theme title for this set changed from Automatic binding bricks in 1953 to LEGO Mursten. In 1956 the theme name for this set changed again to System i Leg which it remained until it was discontinued in 1959.

Description[]

700/2 Gift Package included 72 2x2 and 72 2x4 slotted bricks, 8 each large, medium and small windows, 4 doors and 2 art cards for picture frames. After 1953, it was included with a one brick thick 10x20 baseplate. In 1956 the slotted bricks were replaced by hollow bottom bricks. Since 1958 it contained tube bottom bricks.

Early versions of this set from 1949 through 1953 had only automatic binding bricks type windows and doors without glass. From 1953 to 1954 the set had both automatic binding bricks type windows and doors, as well as tall classic windows and doors with glass. From 1956 to 1959, the set had only the classic type of windows and doors.

Notes[]

From 1949 to 1953 this set contained usually bricks in four colours. They were bright red, white, bright yellow and light green. Starting in late 1954 the set only contained bright red and white bricks.

The set also came with two art cards for making picture frames. These art cards were discontinued when the Automatic binding bricks ended production in 1953 in favor of LEGO Mursten bricks.
