Stanley Tools Stanlo L500 Modular Metal Construction Set, 1930s antique hip flask 3/4"long x 1/2"

3/4"long  x 1/2"

I believe it is 1930s Zanesville (typically unmarked) though am not 100% certain

Inside the box are three black lacquer drawers of progressively larger size from top to bottom

6 1/4" x 3 5/8" and in very good condition

with just a tiny bit of loss of white paint in a couple of spots that just adds to its charm

Stanley Tools Stanlo L500 Modular Metal Construction Set, 1930s antique hip flask 3/4"long x 1/2"I'm not especially good at envisioning elaborate structures to build with legos and the like, but the fantastic colors and design of this c. 1930s Stanlo set made it way too cool to pass by. I've learned there were a number of different Stanlo sets produced, including at least one that featured a motor all preceding the Erector set. Apparently, they never quite caught on, and now are pretty rare to find after spending a little time building with this
