Identification:
-
Brand/Type: Vintage Meccano (Classic Mid-Century Green Enamel Era)
-
Part Number: #5 (Standard Strip, 3.5" / 89 mm length, 7-hole format)
-
Quantity: 2 original pressed-steel flat strips
-
Design: Flat, 7-hole pressed-steel perforated strips finished in green enamel. Fundamental building blocks of the Meccano system, used for structural framing, bracing, levers, linkages, and chassis construction.
Description: A pair of original vintage Meccano #5 standard 7-hole flat strips in classic green enamel. As one of the most fundamental structural components in any Meccano set, these flat strips are crucial for assembling frame linkages, cross-bracing, lever arms, and support struts.
-
Condition: Heavily Weathered / Restoration Grade. Both pieces show extensive paint loss, flaking, edge scuffing, and heavy rust/oxidation—most notably on the left ends and along the outer margins. The metal remains straight and unbent, making them functional for restoration, cleaning/re-painting, or inclusion in a general builder supply lot.
Estimated Value: R10 – R20 (for the pair)
