Meccano model truck and van, Made 1980-2000⠀
⠀
Meccano, the children’s construction toy, was invented by Frank Hornby in England, in 1901. ⠀
⠀
Throughout most of the twentieth century Meccano was exported around the world, intending to interest boys in engineering and ‘to foster clean mindedness, truthfulness, ambition and initiative in boys’. ⠀
It was also used in engineering firms for model building and by inventors for working out ideas, just as computers are used today.⠀
⠀
By the 1960s rival plastic construction toys, which were cheaper and aimed at both boys and girls, took away much of the Meccano market.⠀
⠀
The fact that Meccano reached a world wide audience, before the advent of the internet and social media, is testimony to the value of the product.⠀
⠀
See it on display in #Experimentations at the #PowerhouseMuseum⠀
