I had a Gilbert microscope back in 1957. Kept it together for years while we moved around. Then in 1964 I found part of it taken apart in the back yard. Dad needed a bolt. Soon it was no more.
He did the same with our BB guns. He needed a couple of bolts. Too cheap to go to town to buy some.

A.C. Gilbert also made American Flyer trains. S-guage, with two-rail trackage instead of three like Lionel, my crowd considered them more true to life. Now HO guage and smaller is what the serious modellers like.
