Photos and scans of Lott's Bricks adverts, catalogues and fliers.

Here are some oddities in need of further explanation. The unusual bricks were probably issued in error or are fakes!
Contributions are invited for this collection.

Kindergarten Blocks, which were initially designated as Series A, were introduced in 1921. There were two sets and the bricks came in various colours.
In the early 1930's a revised series of three Kindergarten sets was introduced with bricks in three colours and including pillars, arches, pinnacles and quadrant bricks. Sets 2 & 3 only were re-issued in 1951/52.

Wonderbrix were introduced in October 1938 and were to 00 gauge. The range consisted of 4 sets and was divided into Wonderbrix Toytown and Wonderbrix Fairy. Wonderbrix Fairy set 1 was no longer listed after 1949. A Wonderbrix Fairy set 2 was planned, but I am not certain that this was issued. From late 1953, Wonderbrix Toytown set 1 was repackaged as Lott's Junior Builder. Toytown sets 2 & 3 were available for a few more years. The original Junior Builder set was a repacking of a pre-war Lott's Bricks box 0.

Buildec, the combined building and painting toy, was introduced in October 1936. Boxes 1 -3 were available and contained bricks, roofs, bottles of paint and a paintbrush. The bricks were supplied unpainted and included Lodomo & Tudor embossed bricks, doors, windows and striped bricks.

It is actually the A to N of Lott's Bricks!
This collection shows photos of of the types of brick that were issued, plus roofs, fences, trees and shrubs.

This comprehensive exhibition of Lott's Bricks models, sets, literature and artwork was organised by Malcolm Hanson and Gary Birch.

The pre-war New Series was rebranded as Lott's Bricks in 1952 and sold in small cardboard boxes until the early 1960s. Sets 1 to 4 were available.

The New Series or 'Silver Series' with blue/red doors and windows was introduced in silver boxes from September 1938 and was rebranded as Lott's Bricks in 1952. Sets 1 to 4 were available.

The Railway Box contained Lodomo bricks, plus cardboard platforms, lattice bricks, special doors etc. and was introduced in 1930. It was probably withdrawn by 1938.
Two Accessory Sets were available from 1930 to supplement Lott's Bricks and two sets were available for Tudor Blocks. The Tudor Blocks Accessory sets, which contained brown doors & windows, were withdrawn in 1936, but those for Lott's Bricks lasted until at least 1938.

Garden Sets, which usually contained trees, shrubs, paling fences, shells, sand and extra roofs were introduced in 1923. Sets 1 & 2 were eventually available and the very first sets did not contain the shrubs, shells & sand.

The 'New Series' of Tudor Blocks with herringbone brickwork, brown doors and green diamond-paned windows was introduced on 1 October 1936 and was still on sale in 1963. The new parts had been available in Accessory Sets from 1930. Sets 1 to 6 were available.

Lodomo was introduced in 1929 and contained embossed bricks and green doors and windows. The date of final withdrawal was in the early 1960s. Sets 1 to 3 were available.

Tudor Blocks were introduced in December 1922 and were known initially as Series C. They were replaced by a revised series with doors and windows on 1 October 1936. Sets 1 to 4 were eventually available in the initial series

The original series of Lott's Bricks was introduced in 1917 and was withdrawn in 1938. For a time from 1921 they were designated as Series B.
