This is a vintage LEGO® BILOfix advertising stick pin from the 1950's-1970's. It is made by W. van Veluw BV in the Netherlands and is made of metal. This pin is BILOfix set number 3. The pin face is approximately 3/4" across and the pin is approximately 1.6" long. This is a vintage pin that has never been used but has been stored for 40+ years so it may show signs of wear or aging. Multiples are available so pictures are stock photos and may not be the exact pin you receive.
BILOfix was the name of LEGO's wooden toy line in the 1950's and consisted primarily of building sets with wooden beams and plastic screws. On February 4th, 1960, the LEGO wooden toy factory was struck by lightning and burned down for the third and last time. LEGO decided to discontinue production of wooden toys and focus only on its plastic LEGO System.
Karl Georg and Gerhardt Christiansen, sons of LEGO Founder Ole Kirk Christiansen left the LEGO company to open their own wooden toy company with the name BILOfix. BILOfix toys lasted until the early 1970's.
