The top part of the L shape on the smooth wood is slanted. The end of the L shape is broken off. When the two pieces are back together, the end of the L is also slanted. Along the bottom portion of the L there is a black ridge that runs alongside it. The first width measurment refers to the width of the horizontal/bottom portion of the L shape, and the second width refers to the vertical part of the L. The two lengths also refer to the two different parts of the L. The first for the horizontal portion, the second for the vertical portion. There is a label with the previous temporary number written on it on the bottom side. The back portion has the remnants of two strips of paper torn off each part of the L shape. There are two incisions where the two parts of the shape meet in the corner. Piece 2: This block is a rectangle that is broken off of the larger L shape. This piece continues on the horizontal piece. There is a strip of smooth black wood on the top of the block. The bottom of it ends in a point. There is a label with the previous tempoary number written on it. On the back there are remnants of a piece of paper being torn away. The sides all have black scuff marks, except for the side that was broken off.
