I've put together a few pages with an inventory of the Gryphon Bricks parts, and attempted to cross-reference them with LDraw pieces from Steve Bliss' site. Take a look at: (URL) is a first pass: there are some mistakes here and there, and quite a (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) went in and updated the description parameters to include a count of holes in the piece. So if you see the page before I've updated the page with a new image, just pretend there's a hole-count category, OK? Thanks again. Billb. (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) From the discussion so far, I can tell that some of us may be confusing a classification system with being able to identify a Lego element. In the perfect database, the inquiry about a piece would not need to know *anything* about how the data (...) (25 years ago, 9-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) I've got the box scanned for #7851: (URL) hesitant to open the box, since I'm waiting to see if anyone wants to buy/ trade for it.

(...) Of course you can use the database I'm working on now for a set inventory.

(...) One problem we have at the moment is that the various sources of parts lists (LDraw, Tim Vattima's set inventories, Auczilla, Technica, etc) all contain different subsets of the full parts list and use different descriptions.
