The Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory was packaged
in a customized metal case.
The "Atomic Energy Lab" kit was a must-have for any budding
scientist in 1951. With its realistic components, including uranium
ore samples and a Geiger counter, it offered an exciting glimpse
into the world of atomic energy. Unfortunately, due to safety
concerns, this educational toy was quickly banned from store
shelves. Despite its short life span, the Atomic Energy Lab"
remains one of the most iconic toys of the 1950s, representing
a time when science fiction seemed just within reach. For those
lucky enough to get their hands on it back in 1951, the $51 price
tag was well worth the experience! Gilbert originated the Erector
Set in 1913.
