Further to the recent mention of Meccano, I never owned any but had a generic brand, the name escapes me, that my mother won several sets for me playing 'Housey, Housey' or Bingo as it's now referred to at the seaside during summer vacations.
I recently visited the Air Museum of New England who had on display along with toy aircraft some actual Meccano.

Did you make Meccano aircraft readers?
Apart from regular Meccano, there were special Aeroplane and Car Constructor sets, which included various special parts to enable more realistic aeroplanes and cars to be built.
ReplyDeleteI did not have any metal construction sets, but I did have a plastic set, and a few wooden parts from another range.
