Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
There are an infinite family of these sequences since A139250 gives the number of toothpicks in the structure regardless of the length difference between horizontal toothpicks and vertical toothpicks. Examples: A147614, A194800, this sequence, A160420, etc.
