Is there an erector parts guide for sets prior to 1933?
Hello Gary,
Bruce Hansen published the Erector Parts Guide from 1933 to 1962. I don’t believe he published one for earlier parts. I have an Erector Parts illustrated guide of which I have no idea who published it. (See photo below.) As I recall, it was purchased on ebay.
That guide list all or most parts, but is not very detailed. The illustration of parts, I believe, is taken from the manuals. The index for the parts list a 2 digit year at the end of the part listing (See photo below.), which I think is the first year that part appeared.
Of course you can always go to the parts list in the manual to identify parts as well.
I hope that helps a bit.
Al Sternagle was the man who compiled and sold those illustrated Erector Parts Guides. He would update them as information came to him and made some format changes over time which resulted in various additions.
