Then vs Now: 5264
This is a side-by-side comparison of the "Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Clip on Bottom"
On the left side is the very early prototype from Billund produced sometime in the 90s (found around 1999). This mold was never put into production until January 2025 when the revised mold (PN 5264) was released to the public for the first time (right side image). Over 25 years after its first conception, this part has finally made its debut. :)
Prototype image provided by BLACKTRONITE, who has been very supportive of my efforts to perserve and share this kind of information so that it is not lost to time. He has recommended that I share his photos to keep the conversation going about these very old and mysterious parts, I wanted to start by sharing this one as 5264 was just released this month, not the most exciting part, but fairly relevant nonetheless.
I will also work on sharing a lot more content on IG as @theqelement
so check it out if you're into that kind of thing:
