Don't know 'Lincoln Logs?' You might have been playing with dolls while we boys were playing with Lincoln Logs. Another 'construction toy,' they were brown colored notched dowels made to look like logs for a log cabin, and we could build houses, forts, etc. These were really the next step up from TinkerToys.

I tried to find some pictures of that old motor, but the closest thing I could find was this:

That's similar, but mine had an open gear box on the end that could really get you in trouble if you weren't careful. Such a toy could never be sold today.

OMG, That's terrible. I hope he did lose his job, but the dog thing was bit "leading."

I suspect it was all pretty much a put-on. Voice would't change following puberty.
