Currently, there are three active major part databases out there: Partsref, Peeron Inventories, and the BrickLink Catalog. All have their advantages: Partsref has keywords, cross-referencing to other databases, and usually excellent pictures[1]. (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) You do recognize the part itself, yes? I know the numbers aren't canon yet--but the geometry of the piece (4x4 base to 2x4 top, last brick height toes in at 45-deg, with 2x2 hollow studs and two one- finger click hinge bits) I hope is clear. I (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

(...) Clone? (do they have LEGO(r) on the studs?) Tyco(tm), IIRC, used 1/2 thick plates. But I'm hazy on clones (they're not Lego, after all...) so could be all wet. ++Lar (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Pedro, good question: No, I was NOT sure they were LEGO, but now that I have checked the studs, they are NOT imprinted with "LEGO", but rather "TYCO" is imprinted on the very center of the plate.

I understand some parts like those exist, but not from LEGO (they were made by a clone brand, sorry I dunno which). (...) (23 years ago, 24-Feb-02, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

I found an unusual part while inventorying a recent eBay purchase of used LEGO. I found two identical elements that are blue 2x4 plates -- except when the two of them are connected, they equal the thickness of a regular brick. In other words, they (...)

There are many aspects of the art of piece nomenclature that continue to escape me, but this one has me completely stumped.
