Made by Tri-State Plastic Molding Co in the 1950s this fine set did not survive Legos. This set is the B-300 that came 156 pieces. I have not yet counted the pieces but there seems to be a fair amount. The roofing pieces which I believe were cardboard or heavy paper stock is missing. Looks to be a bit more realistic than Legos.
This set is also called The Nantucket. Eventually I will make a shot of building the house seen on the front of the box.
I don't remember these - I had Lincoln Logs in the early 60s.
Thank you very much Efesgirl. Had those too.
Thank you very much Thomas. Had a small set of Tinker Toys myself.
Thank you

Thank you SEAN68.
Every kid wants to build things. When times were tough and money short--collecting popsicle sticks over some time, could build a pretty nice fort. Even dads liked to help with these projects. All you needed was some glue and a big dream!
Thank you very much PostCardCollector. We had a good supply of building blocks but made forts from fruit crates outside.
Thank you Trey.
I actually have a set myself of the BT 1000 857 piece Brick- Town I will post as well. 1950s. They didn't come with roofs of course. I really enjoyed your post alot . Before my generation bit not my parents.
