In 1914 Charles H. Pajeau designed a new toy called Tinkertoys, he invented the building set after seeing some kids building things with pencils and empty threat spools. The toy featured different sized wooden circles with holes in the middle and around the edges, it also had lots of wooden sticks to connect to the circles to build lots of different toys.
Through the years there have been some changes, with the sticks being given bright colors and some different parts added, but it is still basically the same toy.
