Around 1958 Ideal came out with a series of small forts which were packaged in header bags. The sets included a plastic main gate, flanked by two tin-litho walls. The two walls included in each bag were identical. As well, the bags held figures and accessories. Later, the sets were packaged on blister cards with no accessories.
