“Erector sets were awesome!”
I don’t know if the A.C. Gilbert Company is still around. I remember the newer stuff had a lot more plastic instead of brass and steel. I also had two of their other products - a chemistry set and an American Flyer electric train.
AC Gilbert is gone...I had their erector set and chemistry set...which had lead and mercury in it...My dad was a chemist and he showed me asbestos, too. 3 things that are ‘poison’ today.
