The American Model Builder, known as The Toy for the Boy, was a precursor of the erector set. This 1913 instruction manual illustrates dozens of "marvelous mechanical models" that "can be built by any boy," such as a zeppelin, gas engine, dreadnaught, air compressor, Mary-Go-'Round, lighthouse, and many many other creative projects for the young engineer. A fascinating period piece.
