AC Gilbert Erector Set 10 1/2 with Parachute *SOLD*

AC Gilbert Erector Set 10 1/2 with Parachute

This particular set is a gigantic beast that almost does it all!  It took us quite some time to organize it, add in the brads again, then get things back to ship-shape.  We purchased it from the original owner that looks to have built three stations with about 20 pieces then stopped.  So most all of this set is unused and in superb condition.

The set even had the original blue cardboard and packing inserts with string and craft paper.  We built one box for the orange arched sheet metal, of which we counted seven.  Four hardware pails are all original and put back into place.  The blue middler level cardboard is present and original, but there is a tear close to the hardware holes that has been backed with tape.   The screwdriver and wrench are original and present.

Note that this set can build a truck!  The four wheels are in pristine condition and there is a beautiful white truck style grill for the build.

All parachuters are present and were never removed from the fasteners.  There is string in the set for it or other similar projects.

The countless metal rods and spring and long hardware were and are still wrapped in the original wrapper.

Original brads were still present.  The original flag has never been cut.  Original instructions are present.

The set’s motor was tested and looked to be near new and operated perfectly.

The buyer will need to know that this is a heavy set.  We will safely pack it, but we expect some shifting of contents as it is so massive.  This is an amazing and massive set; it is believed to be the second largest grouping.
