I found this site a couple of years ago and had forgotten about it, this very interesting lady collects building toys, there is much exciting stuff if you explore the site.

Probably
a British site ? Keen, meaning something like "enthusiastic" or "anxious," is a British usage.
The author was apparently unaware that the maker of the "Lincoln" products, J L Wright, is John Lloyd Wright, one of FLLW's two architect-sons.
It'll take me WEEKS to look at all of these. What a find !

I like the curtain wall one the best too, from what I've seen.
Are Froebel blocks still made?
Keen as mustard mate!

.
I reckon there would be a market for reproductions of some of the antique sets for the organic underpants bircher muesli demographic.

It was a huge surprise to see the Jack Fletcher California Model Architecture Kit here! We don't know how many were sold. He is my father (now deceased) and lived in California when he created this. Please let me know how you heard of this kit, as I would love to hear the story.
If you would like to see something else he created, take a look at this "House of the Future." http://www.weirduniverse.net/blog/comments/jack_fletchers_house_of_the_f...
