I have at least 3 very old erector sets kicking around my shop. I do not know if they are 100% complete and doubt it. Three vintage boxes and a bunch of bits though.
I have no need for them and want to sell the lot but have no clue what they are worth.
I will have to get a couple pics.
Anyone into this stuff?
I was mistaken I have 4 sets but one is missing the lid:
Hi preach (fs)
I have no idea what the sets are "worth" but erector sets have a big value to my family.
My dad grew up poor but one year (1945ish) he received a brand new, top of the line set for Christmas which formed a very important memory for him.
It's still on display in his home and although he played with it constantly, it's in near perfect condition.
My brother and I "played" with a fairly large set for several years, circa early 1970's. We build a lot of cool stuff. Those look older than that?
ebay would be the best reference for assigning a value, IMO.
Holy doodle!!
The steam engine set took me right back to my childhood!

I had no idea the sets went back as far as 1913.
