Two original 1938 Gilbert No. 3 "Fun With Electricity" science sets, each in its brightly illustrated box with classic lightning-bolt graphics and Gilbert Hall of Science branding. Boxes show expected age-related wear including scuffs, creases, tears, splits, and corner wear but retain strong color and vintage appeal. Interiors include printed instruction manuals along with various components such as jars, bell mechanisms, coils, switches, meters, rods, connectors, and other early electrical experiment parts. Contents show scattered wear, oxidation, and use. These sets have not been collated for completeness and are being sold with what is shown. Each box measures approximately 21 x 13 x 2 inches.From the remarkable lifetime Collection of Michael Kent.
