Interesting Toy Fact

I was recently surprised to learn that Lincoln Logs (those notched and stackable logs I loved as a kid), were introduced after Tinkertoys and the Erector Set in 1916. They were invented by John Lloyd Wright, son of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

    That makes perfect sense to me! After the shit they went through over there, Lincoln Logs would have soothed their souls. I hope they found 'em.
