Toy play sets around the 1970's and earlier were a great marketing strategy for many companies. How could they go wrong during Christmas with advertising these sets?  The items were typically packaged in large boxes, had many features, and gave the kids hours of play time.  You know what it means when a kids sees a large Christmas present under the Christmas tree?  Not only do they start bouncing off the walls, but it is usually the first gift they open.

Not faded and not stained.  Not much found for business, but I am sure they went out of business. No copyright information on packaging or in the instruction booklet, but from the pictures on the packaging and instruction booklet, estimated date would be the mid 60's. When looking at the bottom of the can from the inside, the base was made out of what appears to be a recycled tin plate that has writing. Writing that is unrelated to the building blocks.
