Erector Sets are a popular construction toy loved by children and adults throughout the world. Erector Sets were invented by A.C. Gilbert back in 1911. The Erector Set is said to have been the subject of the first national advertising campaign in America for a toy. Its great success made it part of American folk culture and continues to be a staple among children's toys despite more "modern" toys.  In recent years the Erector brand has refreshed the erector set principle with dozens of innovative kits that allow children and adults to create classic and cool new designs. With a wide range of prices and skill levels, there is an Erector Set for everyone!
