Answers.Body: <p>Your box is a 700/1 Swedish box (a 700/2 doesn't have that much blue space above and below the image).  Value depends on what is inside as well: the bricks/windows/doors, as well as if the interior cardboard partitions are still there.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I know several collectors (with deep pockets) who would be interested if you still want to sell this set.</p>

  Your box is a 700/1 Swedish box (a 700/2 doesn't have that much blue space above and below the image). Value depends on what is inside as well: the bricks/windows/doors, as well as if the interior cardboard partitions are still there.
  
  Also, I know several collectors (with deep pockets) who would be interested if you still want to sell this set.

  As Syberion mentioned, Gary Isztok is *the* authority on old LEGO sets. Mursten (Bricks in most Scandinavian languages) is the old name for the LEGO line (after Automatic Binding Bricks but before LEGO System) at a time when the product wasn’t yet globally availaible.
  
  I would strongly recommend reaching out to him (he has a facebook page as well, look for the Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide) - maybe send him the picture of the box? He is in touch with a large group of old LEGO set collectors - this could offer you a different sales venue than putting this on eBay or a local site.
  
  Nice find!
