Hello,
I was sorting some old 2 x 4 bricks last eve and I found a white 2 x 4 with no
center supports, I know this is kind of 2 x 4 is normal but the interesting
things is this, the top left stud on the brick has the LEGO logo printed UPSIDE
DOWN. the font has an open o in lego.

I have not seen this before, is this a recognized variety of the 2 x 4 brick,
or is it an oddity?

I dont know how the brick mold were made, if each mold part that makes the studs
were screwed to the rest of the brick mold, but that is the only way I can imagine
such a invert could be created.
the underside of the brick says g-18 and pat. pend.

thanks for sharing your expertise on this.

It's just a brick from a mold with misplaced logo part. The mold is made
up of several parts, included 8 logo parts.

It's not a variety, just an oddity. Of which there are more from the old
days

So far I've found 42 different 2x4 bricks, at that point I stopped collecting
them
