Tinkertoy

Tinkertoy set.

The Tinkertoy Construction Set is a toy construction set for children. It was created in 1914six years after the Frank Hornby's Meccano setsby Charles H. Pajeau and Robert Pettit and Gordon Tinker in Evanston, Illinois. Pajeau, a stonemason, designed the toy after seeing children play with sticks and empty spools of thread. He and Pettit set out to market a toy that would allow and inspire children to use their imaginations. At first, this did not go well, but after a year or two over a million were sold.
