Vintage 1932 ad for the “New Erector Sensational No. 7 Set”
“Hello Boys! You build like a real engineer when you build with Erector
How would you like to be an automobile engineer and build a big motor truck? Put i together piece-by-piece – with your own hands. How would you like to construct a giant steam shovel, with a real electric motor – and make it work just like the ones you see on the highways? How would you like to build a drawbridge that actually opens and closes – a towering ship crane such as used in Uncle Sam’s Navy Yards – a mighty hoisting engine – an aeroplane – and dozens of other thrilling engineering marvels?”
