I guess I thought that once a number is used, it's used up.

AFAIK, TLG doesn't recycle numbers.

Joshua relayed once to me some deductive evidence that TLG has recycled
part numbers in at least a couple odd circumstances.

For example, the 1x2 plate hinges numbered 4275 & 4276 originally had
only 1 hinge finger on the male part and 2 hinge fingers on the female
part.
When TLG redesigned the pieces to have 2 and 3 hinge fingers,
respectively, they re-used the same part numbers for different molds!
:-(

Yes, but I think only for _equivalent_ parts.

That makes it less frustrating?


I just discovered that there are
two versions of the Street Sweeper Brush Holder (2578) - both have this number
moulded on.

The list must go on and on...  :-[p  How different are the two sweet
streeper brushes?
