Answers.Text: "The piece is about 2 inches long from plate to plate" I don't think it could be Duplo, unless that's very weird wording for being the length of the bar alone.

Answers.Text: @RSchulz Yes, "plate to plate" could be interpreted as the distance between the inner edges, but TBH I have no idea how long this Duplo bar is (or how it relates to 2 inches).

Answers.Text: Well, each of the 2x2 Duplo plates is about an inch across by itself, so that bar between would be right around 2 inches by my eyeballing it.

Body: <p>Bought a Bulk Lego lot and got some older (1960-1970s) Lego mixed in.  Came across a plate that is best described as a 2x2 plate attached to another 2x2 plate by a thin strip of plastic kind of like a barbell.  The piece is about 2 inches long from plate to plate, I have never seen the this piece before and it is stamped Lego on top of all the studs.  Any help in identifying this part?</p>
