Antique Meccano Construction Set Game with Custom Made Wooden Storage Box c.1950

Mid 20th Century

A wonderful Meccano construction set, presented in a beautifully crafted wooden storage cabinet. This classic engineering toy is housed in a custom made later added wooden box and includes an assortment of authentic metal components in the iconic red and green colours. 

Inside is: perforated metal girders and plates / wheels, axles, and gears / structural brackets and connectors / assorted nuts, bolts, and fasteners / mechanical elements.

The familiar Meccano logo is visible on the lid. 

Inside the box is a picture and information on what appears to be a crane build - The pieces inside the box seem to match this. 

A standout feature of this piece is the multi section wooden cabinet that has been later added, thoughtfully designed with fitted compartments to neatly organise the many small components. The cabinet holds the set and adds a workshop inspired aesthetic. 

Meccano is a renowned metal construction toy manufactured in Britain by Liverpool based clerk Frank Hornby. Originally designed to teach engineering principles to children, it grew into a global, iconic recognised brand.

Dimensions of box: 50.5cm x 27cm

Condition: Good. 

Item No. 8570
