The set includes a variety of metal toy building pieces and accessories, all of which are in excellent working order. It would make a great addition to any collection or a wonderful gift for someone who appreciates vintage toys. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this classic piece of toy history. The first Erector Set was introduced in 1913 and soon became the world’s leading construction toy. Children would learn to build structures by using metal beams attached with nuts and bolts. Erector Sets through time would not only be a child’s building toy but was also used to create prototype’s for a vast variety of devices including an artificial heart. Erector Sets were originally sold in wooden boxes until 1933 when they came in metal boxes. This colorful red box is in fair condition with damage to front and inside decal. Box itself has scratches with the letter b scratched on front. The building pieces show minimal wear with no visible marks or rust. Electric motor works but has a severely frayed cord that I have wrapped in tape but must be replaced. For further inspection or details PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS. Offered from a smoke and pet free private collection.
