Was going to put in uncited. However, the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/YHoshua for User:YHoshua has him citing sources (sic):
Edward Pessen, The Log Cabin Myth (New Haven: Yale UP, 1984); and Lies Across America: What Our Historic Site Get Wrong by James W. Loewen, page 169.
I have not actually read this source, so it would not be fair for me to put the reference. Group29 17:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
the article says 1/4 inch, which is obvious,y far too small. So I measured a set I happen to have unhand for the grandiose: the diameter is 5/8 inch. But this seems to me to be original research. Maybe originally they were small, but as far back as the 1950s they certainly were larger than 1/4 inch. Wschart ( talk) 13:09, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
I am not sure why this section is here, as there is no apparent connection to Lincoln Logs other than "Logs" in the name. I also question its accuracy - if Lincoln Logs were invented in 1916, I do not see how a French product from 1900 came after it. Jnmwiki ( talk) 18:32, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
