    I recently purchased a complete 1935 6 1/2 set with skyscraper. It came with a small bottle labeled 3 in one oil sample. Did this originally come with this set? I have never seen one. if it did, is there other sets that it came with?

    Hello Gary,

    Yes, starting in 1933 Gilbert included this in large box sets that came with a motor. It was a small, corked glass vial of 3-in-One oil. It came wrapped in a small instruction sheet that indicated it was a free sample and gave directions for oiling the motor. The oil appears in all sets with electric motors through 1938 and in the Electrical Train Set through 1942.
