Pulko Construction Sets

Pulko was a wooden system for making buildings for young children. This German system dates from around 1900-1920, and appears to be the inspiration for Mobaco. It was a product of Carl Josef Bollig & Co. Like Mobaco, Pulko has columns and infill panels.

The major difference is that all Pulko parts are made of wood. Columns are round. Holes in strips and floor plates are circular, easily made with a drill. Window panels are glued together from three parts, doors from two parts. Pulko had three sets and two make-up sets. The principal sets were named Addo, Baldo and Caro, the first letters being A, B, and C. The make-up sets combined two syllables of both adjacent sets: Adbal and Balcar. So far only Addo, Adbal and Baldo have been found. The larger sets, Caro and Balcar, were possibly never produced.

All the manuals and photos below have come from Caspar Mol. He has a website about Mobaco which also contains info on Pulko to whom I am grateful for the permission for their use. There is more information on the system on his website - https://www.mobaco.nl/Related.html.
