sorting out the past


Last year i bought an antique erector set.
When i was 5 years old i got an erector set for christmas.
I was a very busy little boy always making things. I remember making cars ferris wheels and bridges..
The plans were basically a single drawing. You had to figure out how the thing was put together.
I loved seeing all the nuts and bolts and working for hours trying to recreate the object in the book.
Heck I couldn't read but I could see how these things were put together.
This is a picutre of a 1916 erector set. I sorted the parts out and tested the motor it still works.
I need a manual and some extra pieces.
Look out Ebay
