Category:Metal construction toys
From The Brighton Toy and Model Index
Jump to navigationJump to search
The classic metal construction toy is obviously Meccano (1901/1908-), but a number of other systems sprang up over the years (and usually disappeared again shortly afterwards). Some of these were outright clones of Meccano, but others were more original and counted as proper systems in their own right.
Meccano is sold in the United States under the Erector brandname (which originally applied to a different metal construction system).
