Toy building blocks for models of ancient buildings - has hollow blocks spigoted onto thin joining slabs

摘要

The toy building blocks are in the form of hollow cubes or rectangular prisms with one pair of opposite faces left open. The blocks are placed one upon another with a relatively thin slab between the blocks. This intermediate slab is rectangular in shape and has raised square areas (e) which fit inside the adjacent block and so form a retaining spigot. The slab edge (f) is coloured to look like mortar so that the building has a natural appearance. The building blocks include arch shaped blocks and circular columns with correspondingly shaped intermediate slabs to hold the members together.
