I have a Noddy Builder toy which is essentially a Tinker Toy copy with wooden pieces. The tube container is metal and missing it's lid. The contents is incomplete, but consists of the typical Tinker Toy wheel and rod components. The tube shows "Registered" near the bottom of the metal container. However, I think this just refers to the name "Noddy Builder" as there is no … [Read more...] about Noddy Builder Construction Toy
