1970s plastic is often made with lead based paint and traces of arsenic are not uncommon either. I certainly wouldn’t pay extra for the privilege.

Everybody dies from something. (Also, my grandma used these up until her death in May. She was 86.)

Lead doesn't kill you usually, it just degrades your brain. Really bad for babies. Theyd have to eat it though so if the paint/dye is solid, likely no worries. I dont trust older plastics personally. Even if they're more durable.
