| I found this brick among my spare parts. I can't find this configuration
of bottom tubes anywhere in the catalog among 1x6 bricks. It doesn't look
to me like the missing tubes are broken off, they're just missing. Does anyone
recognize it?

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.

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

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 four of these Shell signs with those thin walls but with all the pins

I got one "POLICE" sign on the same kind of mold. And one of those red 1x6 with
Black headlight pattern. I also got quit a bunch of unprinted ones but those
make it harder to determine which year they where used.
These where used but only during a very short period.

Maybe worth knowing that they exist as 1x2,1x4,1x6 and 1x8 bricks from this period.
so they all have their printed counter parts such as the legoland signs.

That is true. 2x4 molds with thin walls and split tubes were made around 1973-1976
(and remained in use for several years after that). Then LEGO returned to thick
walls for a few years. Around 1980 the thin walls came back with the 3001 with
cross-support. These 1x6 molds were probably made around the same time as the
2x4 bricks with split tubes.

Never seen this brick with just 2 pins, or any other 1x6 with just 2 pins.
First idea is that the pins have broken off, but then I saw you are from Denmark.
How close to Billund are you? Over the years there have come a lot of parts from
Denmark, which look out of the ordinary but still are original Lego. Test bricks
from TLG. Or parts made for Legoland. Or for employees. Or... any number of reasons
might be valid.
E.g. 5 years ago I purchased this sign from a Danish seller. So far only 1 has
surfaced (on BrickLink). There are more examples, this is just one.

I don't know the origin of this particular brick. It has been found in one
of many used lots of mixed bricks I've bought within the last year. It may
have come from anywhere in Denmark or directly from the Billund factory for that
matter.
