Description
A Walther and Co. Stabil No. 51 construction set, manufactured in Berlin-Neukoelln, Germany. The set features a 50th-anniversary commemorative logo for the period 1886 to 1936. The collection consists of an assortment of perforated steel strips, plates, blue-painted metal panels, gears, and wheels fitted with rubber tyres. Included within the internal partitions are three circular metal storage tins, with lids marked for Walther and Stabil, identifying them for sets 51 and 51A. The components are housed in their original partitioned cardboard box, which features a lithographed lid depicting two boys with a suspension bridge and a crane. Visible markings include the diamond Stabil logo and the printed text Fabrik Technischer Beschaeftigungsspiele Walther and Co. Berlin-Neukoelln on the lid margin.
