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.
I seem to remember someone coming back from Nam wanting a set...
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
