What SERIOUSLY shocks me is the price for the set. $50 in 1951…. that’s a fortune!

Oh my! I remember a lot of super dangerous toys we had when we were kids. My brother had an army man maker kit where my mother would melt lead on the stove and then he’d pour it into molds. But we never had the atomic energy kit – wow!

This brings back such wonderful memories, Beth. I also had the erector set, I got it for Christmas and it was the biggest one they made and came in a red metal case, that was a lot of fun.
