A vintage Erector set, marked No. 8 1/2, All Electric, by The A.C. Gilbert Company. Includes various metal construction pieces, wheels, gears, an electric motor, and instruction manuals. The set has signs of age and use, consistent with its vintage nature. The original red metal case is included. We are unsure if this set is complete or if it contains the correct parts.

Condition

Some pieces show minor wear and oxidation. The electric motor is present and powers on. The instruction manuals are aged but legible. The case shows scuffs and scratches consistent with age and use.
