Automatic Binding Bricks (ABB)
Timeless Rarities - www.rarities.no - Last Updated: 09.04.2026
This was the first LEGO brick mould that came to Norway in 1953. Without any LEGO markings on the studs or underneath. The ABB mould only consisted of 2x2 and 2x4 bricks. Shortly after the blockletter mould arrived and filled in the missing 1x2 and 2x3 bricks. Both these moulds were replaced by the blockletter with number mould sometime in early 1954. After its use in Norway it was sent to Iceland in 1955.
The colours for the ABB bricks in Norway were very unique. Basically all the colours used, except for the common white, was a special colour you could only find in Norway.
