Yes, and instead of a 3009, it is printed on a

I have tried to add printed variants like this to the catalog before and have
been told they will not be approved.

I would say it's neither of the two. 3009pb156 has 5 buttom tubes, and crssprt02
has none (but two cross supports). Mine has 2 buttom tubes with supports.

Yes, and it has thin walls with vertical ridges. This is not an early brick design.

I don't agree there was a period in the early 1960 that had this style on
molds. so my first guess would have been like the OP first said that the pins
had been broken off, this can be done quite clean, if you put pressure on them
they will break right down by the pins bottom. Maybe it has been done to put
lights in the sign for a project.

I have never seen bricks from the early 1960s with thin walls.

I didn't look closely. Weird. No point to the ridges without the pins. Some
kind of error?

Without the ridges the brick could not connect to a stud below. Without the pins,
this connection is less stable though.

  Sales are nice thing, right? Scoring a bulk load of 1x1 plates you so desperately
need for a long overdue project helps you move on!
When 70% of the sales announcements concern shops that do NOT ship to you, the
nice efforts turn into an ever growing deception....

So here's my suggestion: have a SALE announcement link to the shipping terms
of the store so there will be ONLY announcement visible that actually DO ship
to your country.

Ever working on a more pleasant environment.

It could be a good idea, reminds me of my suggestion for an American subforum
besides the language specific fora as I often find myself ending up in threads
that I have no knowledge of and that have no relevance to me, but then again
the entire forum needs to be chucked and replaced by a proper 21st century forum
in general so let's not try to fix an oldtimer with tape and elastic bands.

Anyway, actually I wonder - and this is an open question - are sales posts any
good at all? As a seller I've posted several and never noticed any effect,
and as a buyer it's time consuming to plough through as it is not immediately
clear if the sale and/or the store is serious and relevant. Maybe just get rid
of them in general or do others have thrilling sale experiences?

Anyway I'll vote yes.

I think that sales posts are effective for rare/unusual parts.

A general percentage off does not really interest me, small chance the seller
has enough of the important items on my wanted list to trigger an impulsive order.
