Designed in Germany in the late 19th century, these sets allowed children to learn architecture and geometry by building real miniature buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe No. 6½ \"Marne\" set belongs to the intermediate series of the Anchor collection and offers a wide variety of architectural blocks made from the characteristic artificial stone patented by F. Ad. Richter \u0026amp; Cie. This mixture of sand, chalk, and mineral pigments produced extremely precise and durable blocks that fit together perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith these types of sets, children could build churches, arcades, classical buildings, small towers, or palaces by following the plans included in the construction manuals. Each model was assembled in layers, just like a real architectural work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor decades, Anker-Steinbaukasten were considered one of the most advanced educational toys of their time and are now seen as a direct precursor to modern construction systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese blocks were part of the childhood of many future architects; the founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, remembered playing with Anchor sets as a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set retains its original wooden box and the original construction manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasic data:\u003cbr\u003e\nManufacturer: F.
