The kits are available in five difficultly levels--ranging from beginners with no experience up to advanced circuit board soldering and mechanical assembly-- challenging builders from grade school to adult.

Erector Sets
Patented in 1913AC Gilbert in 1911, and was manufactured by the A. C. Gilber, from 1913 until its bankruptcy in 1967. The Gabriel company of Lancaster, Pennsylvania bought the Erector name, and continued to make nearly identical sets into the 1970s and 1980s.
The Erector Set is believed by many 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, although its popularity has faded in recent decades in the face of competition from molded plastic construction toys, electronics, and other more "modern" toys.
The Erector Set was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1998.
Scores, perhaps hundreds,[] of different Erector Set kits have been made over the decades, most[citation needed famously the "No. 12½" deluxe kit that came with for the "Mysterious Walking Giant" robot. Current "Erector" sets are actually sets manufactured by Meccano of France, part of the Nikko Group of Japan. They do not have the flanged beams of the original Gilbert Erector Sets.
