I did a web search for wood and wire toy and this came up as one of the top results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_maze

I hope nobody gets upset I ask here instead of searching, its interesting to ask ;)

Also sllightly embarassed I didnt intuit the maze part, makes sense altho technically theres not anything outside of defined paths that cant deviate

No worries, I hadn't thought much about those things, so it was interesting, like you said.
