The Big Enchilada; Erector #8. One of the best Erector sets ever made, the #8, produced in about 1927 and packed in a wooden box. Originally sold for $25 at the height of the Roaring Twenties. Comes with a nearly complete instruction manual that is likely worth over a hundred dollars in itself. The manual would have been sold separately, but it's missing the first five pages, and a few of the original pages from the front and back are no longer connected to the main book and they have been taped. See photographs for details. The real treasure here is the hundreds of original Erector set parts that made up this set. This one has a White Truck hood, a mechanical motor assembly, and lots of nuts, bolts, plates, gears, boiler parts and girders, etc., etc. You probably know what's in it better than I do. From what I can see there are no major parts missing, and it even has the paper ERECTOR pennant. If there are some particular parts you are interested in, please let me know right away and I will make sure they are present. See photographs for details and condition. Any questions?
