Old wooden box containing various parts of the famous Meccano model construction system. These almost antique toys used to be very popular to create all sorts of mechanical constructions. The story still goes that without playing with the Meccano system there was little chance you would succeed as a mechanical engineer.
In the beginning Meccano used to be available in red and green only. Later on some other colour schemes became available.
The image was taken from above: the spanners, hooks, plates and other parts like nuts and bolts can be clearly seen. The compartments of the wooden box symmetrically divide the image in five pieces.
