    Looking for name of old toy - "Rivet" maybe

    There was a toy in the early 80's. It was like an erector set, but instead of screws and nuts, it had rubber rivets. The pieces had holes all over them (like erector pieces). You took a small rubber rivet and placed it in a gun like holder. The gun would stretch the rivet so it would fit into the holes. When you released it, the rivet would flex back into shape, too big to slip out of the holes.

    The toy was recalled only after it's second year because of choking hazards of the rivets.

    I had two of them.

    Any hint or links? No luck on eBay.
