Meccano Percy Advertisement

Meccano Percy Advertisement

Last year we proved that, contrary to popular belief, the Meccano Percy was released two years earlier than it was once thought; in 1965. We managed to prove this with, amongst other things, a cut out from the 1965 Meccano Magazine. Now we have discovered another advertisement for this set.

This leaflet, shown below, would have been given out free around the time of 1965. Although it is undated the packaging of the set would suggest that it is from 1965, as this was also visible on the Meccano Magazine cut out shown last year. Also depicted on this leaflet is the Play-Doh "Fun Factory"! Please take a good look at the leaflet, note that Percy doesn't have a number on the first page.
