The Name Train by Maple Landmark

Maple Landmark was started by Michael Raineville in the 1970's in Lincoln, Vermont. What began as an after-school and summertime hobby soon turned into a business making spool holders, cribbage boards, and wooden vehicle kids toys. The most famous of the toys they produce is the "Name Train". The company also sells tracks and other accessories for a proper train set. These toys are not for children under three but I think they make a great nursey decoration before that. This would be a cute baby shower gift if the family knew what they were naming their baby.
