Not plastic "automatic binding bricks" or anything like what we consider
to be "LEGO" today, but I believe there were wooden ducks and cars and other
play toys for children.  LEGO was started in 1932.

Although the company was started in 1932, it was not until 1934 that the
name LEGO was used, following a competition arranged for that purpose by the
founder. Internal history records that he was unsatisfied by the entries,
chose his own entry as the winner, and awarding himself the prize!
