All who said building blocks would be correct.
Those look tasty. Did they use artificial flavourings/sweeteners in the paint, or real lead?

It does depend on where he spent his childhood; Surely all Europeans and Americans would recognise them immediately from them being a part of their childhood.
But yes I slightly do agree with your statement.

^ We just gave a set to a young child a few months ago and they love playing with them. Of course they are the type of kid who only gets 2 hours of TV a day and hasn't been showered with computer based games.....

Exactly.
^ Well, ok, then, due to its love affair with the Ice Age, Canada gets a pass. That kid will probably have to learn how to rub those blocks together to make fire.
Ha ha.
No, in fact they're state of the art: http://bfy.tw/1FId

Wooden toys are by no means a thing of the past. Common? Maybe not. Uncommon? Not.

Let's say, at least in the western hemisphere one can be quite sure: the better the particular kindergarten's education, the more wooden toys instead of plastic stuff you'll find there.

I used to teach four and five year olds in church Sunday School. The best teaching toys I saw were open-ended systems that allowed the child to take creativity to his own ends.
There is a mix required for young children. Some toys must present challenges with necessary and definite solutions. Others must provide fodder for the imagination and creativity.
Many children are not experienced with creative opportunities and need gentle encouragement and modelling to begin to explore creativity. My grandmother was a genius at simply playing alongside a rambunctious child until her focus and attention to something became contagious and that child was caught in her orbit. I have found it the most effective approach in helping small children to learn to learn.

That's a problem I have with Lego. When I was a kid, there were blocks and nothing more. We could build whatever we wanted. Things got better when they came out with wheels and doors and windows. Our imaginations went wild.
But then they started making sets. Kids built the toy and that seemed to be it. There wasn't much more they could think to do with it than to tear it apart and build it again. imagination suddenly wasn't necessary anymore.

And to be sure, not every soul is creative, but every child deserves the opportunity to discover what he is.
After all, we are not who we are not.

My niece certainly has played with these in the very near past at my parents house and has also told me they have them at school - so they certainly are in the UK as well.

I'm not so sure. The house was built in 1968, and there is no telling what was on the property before the house was built. Since the nameplate on the box had a zip code and zip codes were put into use in the US in 1963,the box must have postdated 1963. But the is no guarantee that the box was made to hold the building blocks, although they do fit neatly in it
Only if the box and blocks were made together, could you put a date of 1963-1968 to them.
I remember playing with these and having the wooden train tracks too, where you had to put them together. They had bridges and stuff, probably the best toys ever as a kid.

What is odd about the blocks that Zom. shows is that there are no 45 degree blocks nor round blocks, the ones in his set look to be 30 degrees or less and there is an odd number of them.
Also the wood looks to be a better quality with a better finish than standard play blocks.

Zombie said there were more blocks underneath. If the ones beneath were identical, my guess is that it's homemade from scrap wood, albeit good wood and good finish, and probably incapable of building much. My guess is that the box and blocks do not belong together, as others have said. The rounded pieces don't really seem to fit their counterpart, either, which could also indicate an amateur woodworker/toy maker. We really need to see all the pieces. I'm sure Zombie will show us more pictures of the entire set.
