Answers.Text: On closer examination the blank bricks seem to be Tyco.  They both have a number stamped in the underside button.  I've separated them to our kiddie toy box.  I don't plan selling bricks but do the older bricks have any value?  Thank you Ryan for your prompt answer.

Answers.Text: As time marches on, Lego has (usually) become more aggressive with putting their name on pieces. Technic pins definitely have it now. Soccer balls do too. Even 1x1 round bricks finally do. Just today I found the Lego logo on the clip of a tiny Friends pen. <https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=35809pb01#T=C>

Body: <p>While sorting my LEGO collection I found bricks with two different fonts and many without a font at all. I also found Tyco and Mega Bloks bricks. So did LEGO ever make blank bricks?</p>
