I was wondering why the "total owned" number was so low when this seems like a fairly common (for its size, anyway) part, but it turns out that this has a new design ID- the old 4x16 brick w/bow and angle is https://brickset.com/parts/design-45301
It's good for spaceship prongs, I'll say that.
While this isn't a very grand instance of deja-huw, it's still a Brick b/w bow again.

It was introduced for the Geonosian Starfighter anyways^^

If this is in the set, it's a pretty good bet that it's either a spaceship or a plant.
This part is my bread and butter.
Without it, my MOC catalog would be tiny and boring.

Yes, make deja-Huw happen, join in saying it, everybody.
@Atuin:
Several years ago, I made a quick trip out one Saturday morning to buy a second copy of the first Geonosian Starfighter because I needed a pair of a different wedge brick to complete my Toa Mata-scale speederbike. I’d only intended to do a rough draft build the night before, and I ended up being able to complete it in under 24 hours. So, somewhere, I have a spare pair of these in old-brown.
To me, this (or at least the old version) will always be the pillars from the Mustafar mining facility in 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Duel. It was the first set I encountered them in, and now I can't think of anything else when I see them.

They are printed anyways, so technically not all 'old-brown' :P
I think I have one of them lying around from a weird Pick-a-Brick offer at a local toy chain around 2004-ish (where I also got dozens of old-brown Fabuland brooms and parrots in weird colors...)
As opposed to 4499 which would be a bow with arrow

Ah, nothing a little Brasso won’t fix…
