Bob O'Neill Writes: This is the display I set up in my drive way for the news paper article the local paper did on the 2010 national convention. One of the things that came out of the belated article the local weekly did on us is that I received several calls from people that had Erector sets they wanted to sell or give away! I wound up picking up several including a 1935 7-1/2 Ferris wheel set in almost new condition and a wood box steam shovel set. It was complete but rusty. It will be restored. I also was contacted by my local library and was asked to do a Saturday afternoon program on A.C. Gilbert and his development of science toys.
