A set of Lincoln Logs from the 1940s. |
This is one of the drawings used to obtain the patent for Lincoln Logs. |
Playskool's 1978 package of Lincoln Logs. |
This is the 2018 Anniversary Tube of Lincoln Logs. Still the same as when I played with them. |

So who/what are they named after?
ReplyDeleteRod, I guess you have your choice since it seems there is not a definite answer. The manufacturer of the toy still claims that it was named after Abe, while Frank Lloyd Wright's original name of Frank Lincoln Wright gets a few votes and finally, 'linkin' logs gives us another logical choice. I believe the Abe Lincoln story so that's what I believe. Would be a neat survey!
