Lincoln Logs were invented around 1916, and this ad was from 1924. The inventor was John Lloyd Wright, son of famous architect Frank Lloyd.

The sets were named after US president Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a one-room log cabin.

It may seem quaint in an age of realistic video games, but I like these creativity toys where the ingredients are a pile of physical parts + imagination.
