2023/07/04 - A WORK IN PROGRESS
These pages are my attempt to extend the work of other brick collectors in documenting pattern bricks. The best place to start is an article about pattern bricks (pavers) that was written for the Winter International Brick Collectors Association 2008 Journal.
The Circles
and Curves and Straight Lines
pages are lists of pattern bricks taken from the same article and
extended by me and other contributors. I've added several new
sections including Stars, Flowers, Straight Line on Squares,
and Decorative.
All the photos have
been taken from either the original article or harvested from the
Facebook IBCA Group, other brick collecting Facebook groups and
brick collectors messaging me directly.
I've added new entries at the end
of existing entries to keep the existing codes as they were. In
some cases bricks were moved to new categories and given new codes
but the original code remains valid for future reference. In a few
cases, I've had to add a,b or c after the codes for some minor
differences in the patterns. Some of the differences are very
difficult to discern and I may have been fooled by optical
illusions that can arise from not being able to tell if the
pattern is raised or recessed.
I'm depending on the readers of
this page to provide corrections where I've errored and to
contribute patterns that are not listed. Email me at
davidrfortney@gmail.com or message me on Facebook with the name
BrickerDave.
I will periodically convert these pages to a PDF and upload
it to the IBCA Facebook group files folder.
