Description from the seller
Old Meccano collection in a large three-level wooden chest with a weight of 17 kilos. Dated between 1927-1935.
Huge collection of original Meccano parts preserved in a large three-level wooden chest with trays and compartments. The set appears to have been formed by incorporating several Meccano sets and extensions, so it does not correspond to a single complete game.
The set is mainly composed of components from the late 1920s and first half of the 1930s, including pieces from different periods and color schemes characteristic of those years.
The collection includes a large quantity of Meccano components, including beams and perforated strips, metal plates, structural pieces, wheels with tires, pulleys, gears, axles, drive elements, supports, screws and numerous mechanical accessories. It also includes several clockwork mechanisms and motors, one of them marked “Meccano Ltd. Liverpool Eng. – Made in England – Pat. No. 21117/12”, inner wooden trays with compartments and an illustrated Meccano Outfit No. 1 label on the inside of the lid.
It is also accompanied by a large amount of period Meccano documentation and manuals, mainly for the Dutch market, including instruction manuals, supplementary manuals, model construction sheets, parts and accessories catalogs, advertising and Meccano Gilde documentation, among other documents.
Due to the large number of components, the content has not been checked or inventoried. The lot is sold with all the contents shown in the photographs, which display the pieces, accessories, motors and documentation included.
