This toy functioned similar in some respects to Lincoln Logs and was probably made of wood but instead of having rectangular notches where you'd hook the pieces together it was like much more delicate pieces (Bigger than toothpicks but much more fragile than Lincoln Logs) formed on a lathe and brightly colored. The ends were thicker with indentations where these pieces would hook together. Lathing would be the only action needed to get the shape of these "sticks" (if I remember correctly). There were longer and shorter pieces. Do you remember anything like this? What was the toy called?

You're thinking of Tinker Toys.
Tinker Toys where the middle-class kids Lincoln Logs.
The Erector Set was the rich kids Tinker Toys.
