Fanner 50. My parents would not buy me one, but my Aunt bought me one anyway. Here is the commercial that mesmerized my childhood mind.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

As I was reading the title I am thinking 'Fanner 50'. And then I read the OP's post.
And no one lost an eye.

Legos and a chemistry set. Yeah, I'm an engineering nerd. But I did manage to (unintentionally) set the bus stop on fire with a home made incindiary firecracker when I was 12.

I had a Fanner 50 around 1959-60 or so. Also had a Belt Buckle Derringer that used "Greenie Stick'em Caps".

My favorites were the Play sets:
Fort Apache, Cape Canaveral (1960 or so).
Blue & Gray Battle Set (1962).
Operation Moon Base (around 1965).

I wish I had them now - they're valuable now.
