|  | 1950s Tubs of Tinkertoys (2)(Reference #4-3-162)
This selection comprises two tubs of Tinkertoys. The larger one is a special Tinkertoy set; this is housed in a tub that stands 12.5" high and is complete with both its direction and tricks sheet. Having checked the contents against the first of these, we can report that, although the set is substantially complete, there are a few pieces missing. These are piece L (all four missing), H (all eight missing), U (two of four missing) and BG (1 of 2 missing). However, to make up for these losses, there are some extra pieces. These are four extra spools, 16 extra no 1 rods, and one rod that is longer than the number 5 illustrated on the sheet. Apart from some slight damage to the top of a few of the rods, all the pieces are in good condition. The second set (no 116) would appear to be of a later date as it includes some plastic parts as well as some coloured rods. This set lacks its direction sheet so it has not been possible to check the contents accurately. The tub states that it has 60 parts; it actually contains 90. There is no significant damage to report. These two tubs originally formed part of a large collection of American toys; they are now hoping to be repatriated. (WR) US$36.00

| 1970s UK Boxed Meccano W/U Motor(Reference #9-12-05c)
This Meccano Magic Clockwork Motor is still contained in its original box and is in unused condition. The motor is in full working order, but is missing a key, driving bands, and a pulley boss. The box is complete, but crushed and creased, and comes with its original Meccano guarantee sheet. As it says on the box, 'brings real action to your models'. (WR) US$20.00

|  | 1960s German Boxed Wooden Architectural Bricks(Reference #01-12-05n)
 This charming little set of wooden architectural bricks probably dates from 1960s Germany. The box measures 4.5" square and contains 34 wooden bricks of various shapes, sizes, and colours. The bricks are in excellent condition; the box lid lacks all four edges and suffers from scuffing, marking, and minor paper loss. However, if architectural bricks are your passion, then don't miss this opportunity to acquire this delightful miniature set.

| 1930s Boxed German Electric Construction Set(Reference #02-3-58)
Made by BECO of Germany in the 1930s, this boxed electrical construction set has clearly never been played with as it is still strung in its original box (11.5" x 7.5") and has its eight-page instruction book. It must have been made for export to Italy as all the instructions are in Italian. The set contains 13 components ranging from green and red bulbs, electrical flex, and a two- and three-way switch through to ornamental bulb holders suitable for a doll's house, and a miniature plug and socket. There is absolutely no damage to report to the components, but the box is in rather a sorry state. Made of cheap cardboard, it has dried out over the years and is now very brittle with the result that it suffers from tearing and detached edges. Mercifully, though, the label - depicting a very Germanic-looking boy discovering the delights of electricity - is completely intact. If you're a collector of electrical toys, then this is the item to light up your life.
