Bonus points if they aren’t Polish or bootlegs.

Merkur is made in Czech Republic. It's a bit like Meccano.

Seems like a knockoff. Or at least heavily inspired by.

Bootlegs and knock-offs are two different things, right? Either way, I don’t think it should matter. Lego went from wooden toys to copying some other two and getting famous. Then you have stuff like CoD and Oreos which were also originally copies that surpassed the original.

Polish toy companies:
>Cobi - klocki known for war sets
>Trefl, Castorland - puzzles
>Wader - sturdy plastic toys for todlers
>Bajo - wooden toys
There is a lot of wooden toy makers there, if you count table top games as toys, then there are tons of those.

Merkur is its own brand with original designs not copying an existing toy. It's thicker more sturdy steel pieces than Meccano. More industrial and technical. Similar concept though right.

Check out Czech's various checkers manufacturers. Most of them take cheques for payment.
