    Randy,
    I assume you’ve already taken a look at Bruce Hansen’s Erector Parts Guide 1933-1962 which you may download on this site. I’ve used that document extensively (Kudo’s to Bruce).

    For anyone interested…and assuming that Bruce Hansen’s Erector Parts Guide (2011 Edition) is accurate, I’ve been able to pinpoint the date of my set to 1941-1942. Biggest giveaway is from the 12″ base plate (MN) in my set which has the Small Hole Pattern. Further confirmation of the 1941-42 date is from the 18 1/2″ Angle Girder (MB) which in my set is the black patina plated. Finally, the 3″ Angle Girder (MO) is either nickel plated or zinc plated steel (made between 1935-42)

    My dad was born in 1937 so this also fits well with his story that he bought the set from an older kid.
