Line Mar Match Box Construction 018 - Mausoleum

I found a Line Mar Match Box Construction Set from the 1930s, complete and with instructions. The box claimed the set made 100 different toys. I decided to test that claim -- one toy at a time. You can read all the posts for the Line Mar construction project at 100 Toys.

At this point, I've become pretty adept at stacking up these flimsy metal pieces. Although I post once a week, I usually complete and photograph 4 to 5 toy assemblies in a single one-hour session. This one was pretty simple to build, as most of the low-slung buildings (pardon me -- I mean toys) are.

This is another of the toys whose description seemed at odds with its appearance. To me, it looked like a skyscraper on the East River, or perhaps an exotic chair of some kind (depending on the scale). This is not the structure that springs to mind when I think of a mausoleum. And besides -- a mausoleum seems an odd choice for a building project for a young child.

Maybe those two blocks out front are meant to hold Eternal Flames?
