I vaguely remember Bill Katz (a LUGNET user who has not been around lately - due
to a heavy workload) mentioning the existence of a gray plate with the waffle
bottom. I think he said there was an airplane set that this came from (Samsonite
only?), but I don't know what set that was (I don't have the time to research
it). Interestingly enough, the only other large CA gray plate that I am aware of
was (continental Europe only) from those 1963-65 Architectural Sets parts packs
(the hard plastic clear box version of plates packs 518, 519, 520, 521). These
had an 8x11 (yes that is a strange size) gray plate as the bottom of the parts
pack box (where an 8x11(x4) clear plastic box fit over the top of. These were
the parts packs for the shortlived Architectural series (1963-65) of sets - 750,
751, 752.
Clark, thanks for sharing that "LEGO anamoly" with us.
