I got to visit our own Lincoln Logs last weekend in CA. Brother Bob took them for his kids (and now Grandkids) about 40 years ago. I don’t know how many hundreds of hours I spent building forts and compounds, setting up our Army men and cowboys and Indians to shoot them with my old Daisy BB gun…
Lots of BB dents in those logs! 😉
I may have to start shopping around for some for my younger Grandkids as they are getting close to the right ages.
Remembered all the others, too.
Was never a big fan of the Erector Set…but had one.

Wulffy, we played with the little pieces of lumber that my dad had left over when he was building a barn, then I got big enough to start helping him when he would go on a job I would keep all the scrap pieces picked up and get whatever he needed when he was on the ladder that's when I leaned what a gopher was 😂😂

Had them all except Tickle Bee. I never played much chinese checkers. Had a big plastic set of regular checkers, with a plastic sheet board that you played on the floor.

I had n old uncle when I was a preteen.
He was a character brother.
Taught me how to play checkers n took me to the pool hall with him.
Wish he'd was around when I got older.
