Lego Lost At Sea @legolostatsea.bsky.social · 10hAmong the old plastic washing up from the seabed this week was this fragment - does anyone know what these letters might once have said? Google lens suggests bar of soap (definitely not), bread tag, masonic token, belt dressing (?). We wondered if it might be some sort of badge or nameplate? 269437
