Remember Kenner’s great building sets?

I was checking out a vintage site when I ran across this Kenner Girder and Panel Building set. Talk about a blast from the past! I had one of these wonderful sets when I was seven years-old. It gave me countless hours of pleasure.

Kenner Products was a founded in 1947 in Cincinnati, and introduced its popular Girder and Panel building sets in 1957. Kenner was one of the first companies to recognize the potential of TV for advertising their toy products in the USA, the first ads airing in 1958.
