Description : 24 May, 2023
Rare Vintage Lotts Toy Stone Building Bricks. Original Box And Instruction Manual. 0 Gauge Model Railways.
The pany Lott’s Bricks Ltd. was started in 1918 and produced simple resin bonded artificial stone blocks in rectangular and wedge shapes - marketed as: ‘The game that builds the brain.” This delightful building toy was intended for both boys and girls. The blocks were stacked without any special pegs or joints, relying on weight and friction to stay together.
Lotts gradually expanded their range with sets of special bricks for window pieces or Tudor style frontages. Lotts continued until 1960, by which time more modern plastic systems like lego had e popular.
The final Lotts architectural bricks sets came with plastic window blocks, which were open on the back and had blue window frames painted onto the textured front. These are included in the box being offered for sale here.
Until 1948 the scale of the buildings resulting from the bricks in all the Lotts sets was designed to match gauge 0 railways and accessories. In 1948 a new pattern called wonderbrix was launched for making half size buildings suitable for 00 gauge model railways. The scale of the building blocks being offered for sale here matches gauge 0 railways.
There are 92 pieces, including three hinged printed card roofs (one 3.25 inches and two 4.25 inches) – all of which are stored in the original cardboard box, and panied by the original instruction manual. It is possible that a few of the pieces may be from another Lotts set.
Overall the building pieces are in good played with condition, with some minor damage, commensurate with their age and previous use.
The original square cardboard storage box has an attractive coloured illustration on its lid which is evocative of a bygone era, and includes the number three.
The box is worn, particularly its corners, as is to be expected given its age. Both the inside and outside of its lid have been scribbled on by a child, which actually adds to its charm.
The size of the box is approximately 23 cm x 22.5 cm x 4 cm.
When all the pieces are packed in the box it weighs approximately 2 Kg.
