Another great toy that could disfigure a kid ! Imagine turning a modern boy loose with a ladle full of molten metal . A sure trip to the emergency room  !

There was also the Gilbert Atomic Energy Lab kit that likely wouldn't be marketable today?!?!

I ended up with an AC Gilbert chemistry set buying some Erector sets, don’t think they’d sell that today either :D

I think you're right Frank .... I'm pretty sure that would be unmarketable, which isn't the same as saying there wouldn't be a market for it!
