About the Item
Discover a piece of history with this vintage Richters German anchor blocks building toy, also known as Der Geschickte Baumeister. Made in Rudolstadt, Germany, circa 1900, this set comes in its original wooden box with printed paper labels and includes stone blocks and instructional booklets.
