1901 to the present day
In 1901, Frank Hornby patented a construction set made of perforated sheet metal to be assembled with nuts and bolts. In 1908, he created Meccano.
The boxes made it possible to build a wide range of things, including cars and mechanical airplanes.
The founder died in 1936.
The brand is still on the market.
