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

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

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 !
