Boxed A.C. Gilbert #8 Zeppelin Erector Set

Description

Vintage A.C. Gilbert Erector Set No. 8 "Zeppelin" housed in the original red painted wooden chest with black corner shading and brass hardware. The interior retains its original divided trays filled with an extensive assortment of early red and silver metal structural parts, gears, pulleys, wheels, girders, and brackets, along with boxed components marked "Erector - The World's Greatest Toy." Includes the original cloth Zeppelin bag and black electric motor marked "Erector." The cloth bag has not been fully examined for condition, due to it being folded up and brittle.

Case measures approx. 25" x 10-3/4" x 6.From the remarkable lifetime Collection of Michael Kent.
