The Erector Set of Loren and Mason Clark
About 1914?? -- A few parts remain in 2003.
When I was three my mother was worried that I might have a curved back. The doctor recommended that I play sitting at a table instead of crawling on the floor. So Loren built an Erector Set contraption and put it on the dining table. I was seated on a chair to play with it with my back necessarily straight. My mother left for a few minuites. When she returned I was happily sitting on the table with the erector set. It must have been her dismay that imprinted the incident on my memory. (by the way, my back is straight and remarkably durable)
