Gilbert invented the first Erector Set in 1913. Henry Ford's Model T was still new. The Wright Brother's triumph was still experimental. Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and George Easton watched their inventions flourish. New railroads and bridges reached out and pulled together a nation that New Mexico and Arizona had just joined. Gilbert's Erector sets inspired the hands of children with the spirit of his era.
