Kukla, Fran and Ollie was an early TV show using puppets. It was
created for children, but was soon watched by more adults than
children. It did not have a script and was entirely
ad-libbed. It
was broadcast from Chicago between October 13, 1947, and
August 30, 1957. Comedienne

with puppets, Kukla and Ollie (and sometimes other puppets)

TOY INDUCTED INTO THE HALL OF FAME IN 1998

The Original Tinkertoy Major Building Set 1960's | Etsy | Childrens toy, The originals, Tinker toys

The Tinkertoy Construction Set is a toy for children. It was
designed in 1914—six years after the
Frank Hornby‘s
Meccano sets—by Charles H. Pajeau, who formed the Toy
Tinker Company in
Evanston, Illinois to manufacture them.
Pajeau, a
stonemason, designed the toy after seeing children
play with sticks and empty spools of thread. Pajeau partnered
with Robert Pettit and Gordon Tinker to market a toy that would
allow and inspire children to use their imaginations. After an
initially-slow start, over a million were sold.

Hasbro bought the Tinkertoy brand and currently produces
both Tinkertoy Plastic and Tinkertoy Classic (wood) sets
and parts. The US rights are now owned by Basic Fun!.
