The toy was first manufactured by Elgo Plastics Company and later by Halsam Products, both of Chicago. A green Army Bricks variant was subsequently introduced by Halsam. Ultimately, the company and its American Plastic Bricks product line was purchased by Playskool, which re-released the product with more colors. These toys were later eclipsed by more modern plastic creations such as Lego. The original American Plastic Bricks have not been manufactured since the 1960's.
