I used to love building a cabin with these. They looked just like the cabins we slept in during over-night summer camp. I'm 36 and even today when i gotta go to the bathroom i will sometimes say, "Gotta go make some Lincoln Logs". Very few will understand my inside statement, but when they do we have a laugh and a connection. Sorry to be so descriptive.

I remember the logs came in a big 'ol metal can.

My nanny would give me a big box of Lincoln Logs and I'd be entertained for hours!! I used to build log cabins for my Barbies!! Do they still make these things I wonder? They were much cooler than Leggos!

They still have these, but they are very expensive!

Yeah....they still make them but of course they are plastic now.

I still remember the way these things smelled. So woodsy and nice!

I couldn't build anything with these to save my life.

My sis and I got a big set of these back in 1963 or so. I LOVED them! (Tinker Toys, also.) Too bad they're all plastic and costly these days.

The exact set I had was 5-C, about the medium available. J.L. Wright, son of a famous man, F.L. Wright, began selling his Lincoln Logs in 1917. With enough parts, one could build an entire, Civil War- style fort. K'Nex now sells the shoddy, plastic version of Lincoln Logs. If you want the old wooden ones, visit the antique stores.

my brother use to have this and I had it and played with it in my basement as a child which was like my playroom
