The iconic British brand began with Frank Hornby and his passion for inventing, which led him to create educational toys for his sons. In 1901, the name 'Mechanics Made Easy' was patented and began the foundation for the Meccano company. Containing 16 individual parts, the sets went on sale in 1902. By 1907, the Meccano name was registered and the educational toys were being produced at a workshop in Liverpool. The following year, Meccano became a limited company and Hornby's partner David Elliott decided to retire from the partnership. With production periodically moving to larger facilities to accommodate the company's growth, Frank Hornby launched the Meccano Magazine in 1916. The Meccano Magazine proved popular with continuous growth over the years. By 1920, new Meccano products were advertised including the announcement of 'the finest series of clockwork railway trains ever made', paving the way for over 100 years of Hornby history.
