I was never an Erector set guy. Nor Zacks, Technic, or any of the other countless types of building blocks. It was always straight up lego for me.
Whoever ownedthis vinatge set must have felt kind of similar to me. This baby looks like it’s NOS (new old stock) and has never been played with. Not exactly common condition for a set from the 40’s-50’s. The price shows it too.
I personally love vintage toys. It’s fun finding the toys you had as a kid, or the ones you always wanted.
